The positively charged ions are known as cations and
negatively charged ions are anions.
Cations are attracted to the cathode and anions are
attracted to the anodes in the voltaic cell.
When CuCl² copper chloride solution is dissociates into
water cation and anion, Cu²⁺ (copper II) is a cation and Cl⁻ (chloride ion) is
an anion
