A positive ion is an atom or a molecule that has a non zero charge. This is due to the molecule losing one or more electron(s). This results in a positive charge as there are now more protons (which are postive) than electrons (negative) causing an overall postive charge. An example of a positive ion is Na+. This has 11 protons and 10 electrons.
