The word cation derived from the Latin “cata- e ion” with lexical components that are the prefix “cata” which means “down” and “ion” which means “I am coming”. The cation is a particle that is part of common matter with chemical properties or like the molecules that make up a permanent and electrically neutral process. The cations are specified as a positive oxidation state that occurs when an element comes into contact with oxygen, this happens with metal components exposed to friction with oxygen and water.
In the area of chemistry, a neutral atom loses one or more electrons from its original equipment, this prodigy is known as ionization, which is the chemical-physical phenomenon by means of which ions are made that are electrically charged atoms or molecules due to the lack of electrons. that are identified by the symbol e-, this symbol indicates that it is a subatomic molecule with a negative elemental electric charge with respect to a neutral atom or molecule.
The cations in biological processes are concentrated in different cations such as "Na +, K +" among others, cell membranes maintain various chemical potentials that are dependent to send different organic molecules into the cells by facilitated death that is done by means of channel proteins or by uniport proteins.
The cations in medicine are paramagnetic which are tendencies of the free magnetic moments to feed in parallel to a magnetic field such as "Gadolinium" which is a chemical component of the periodic table where its symbol is Gd and its atomic number is 64. In addition, cisplatin is used, which is a drug that is based on platinum and is widely used in chemotherapies for the treatment of different types of cancer due to its coordination with DNA, preventing its replication, but also preventing the development of thetumor cells that are the ones with the highest growth rate.
