  Cation-Exchange
The magnitude of such cation exchange in a given zeolite is known as its cation-exchange capacity (CEC) and is commonly measured in terms of moles of exchangeable cation per gram (or 100 grams) of zeolite or in terms of equivalents of exchangeable cations per gram (or 100 grams) of zeolite.
A mole of an atom or cation is its molecular or atomic weight written in terms of grains (i.e., gram-molecular weight); thus, a mole of sodium (Na) weighs 22.99 grams, and a mole of calcium (Ca) weights 40.08 g.
cations, expressing the cation-exchange capacity of a given zeolite in terms of moles requires that the nature of the exchanging cations be stated for each exchange reaction.

 cation - HighBeam Encyclopedia
Cations can be formed from a metal by oxidation (see oxidation and reduction), from a neutral base (see acids and bases) by protonation, or from a polar compound by ionization.
Cationic species include Na, Mg, and NH The cations of the transition elements have characteristic colors in water solution.

 Inorganic Structure Prediction - Cation Locator menu card
Cation Locator uses efficient gridding of non-bond energies to locate potential energy minima within a given model, and populate these determined sites with cations.
A single cation is placed at the origin, and the interaction of a second cation at each grid point is computed, again using Ewald summation.
Cation Locator is used to identify possible locations for extra-framework cations within a charged framework structure, to produce an electrically neutral structure.

 Cation exchange capacity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In soil science, cation exchange capacity (CEC) is the capacity of a soil for ion exchange of positively charged ions between the soil and the soil solution.
Cation exchange capacity is used as a measure of fertility, nutrient retention capacity, and the capacity to protect groundwater from cation contamination.
Closely related to cation exchange capacity is the base saturation, which is the fraction of exchangeable cations that are base cations (Ca, Mg, K and Na).

 The Garden with Insight garden simulator v1.0: cation exchange capacity
The number of these sites per unit weight of dry soil is called the cation exchange capacity, or the capacity of the soil to hold cations.
Because any cations loose in the soil solution are vulnerable to leaching as water flows out of the soil, a high cation exchange capacity is always desirable.
The attraction of cations to cation exchange sites is strongest for H+ ions (which make the soil acidic) and for polyvalent ions such as Ca2+ and Al3+.

 Ion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A positively-charged ion, which has fewer electrons than protons, is known as a cation (pronounced [ˈkætaɪən]; cat-eye-on) due to its attraction to cathodes.
So; anion, ἀνιόν, and cation, κατιόν, mean "(a thing) going up" and "(a thing) going down", respectively; and anode, ἄνοδος, and cathode, κάθοδος, mean "a going up" and "a going down", respectively, from ὁδός, "way," or "road."
The positively charged particles are called cations, the negatively charged particles are called anions.

 What is the use for the cation exchange capacity (CEC) and the percent base saturation on the soil test reports?
The CEC is the abbreviation for the cation exchange capacity of the soil.
Any element with a positive charge is called a cation and in this case, it refers to the the basic cations, calcium (Ca+2), magnesium (Mg+2), potassium (K+1) and s odium (Na+1) and the acidic cations, hydrogen (H+1) and aluminum (Al+3).
The amount of these positively charged cations a soil can hold is described as the CEC and is expressed in milliequivalents per 100 grams (meq/100g) of soil.

Now four researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Boulder, Colo., have carried out the notorious "Schroedinger's cat" test using not a living feline but a positively charged atom- -yes, a "cation" in scientific parlance--of beryllium.
Although somewhat smaller than a cat, the cation is still much larger than the electrons, photons and other particles that commonly exhibit bizarre quantum behavior.
In a report in the May 24 issue of Science, the NIST team expresses the hope that their "mesoscopic system may provide insight into the fuzzy boundary between the classical and quantum worlds."

The +5 oxidation state of U, Np, Pu, and Am is a linear dioxo cation (AnO{sub 2}{sup +}) with a formal charge of +1.
These cations form complexes with a variety of other cations, including actinide cations.
Other oxidation states of actinides do not form these cation-cation complexes with any cation other than AnO{sub 2}{sup +}; therefore, cation-cation complexes indicate something unique about AnO{sub 2}{sup +} cations compared to actinide cations in general.
