Answer:

simple cations (monatomic cations of elements of only one possible charge)

Explanation:

Simple cations (monatomic cations of elements of only one possible charge)  are named using the unmodified element name and adding the word "ion"

For example, the Na+ is named the sodium ion.

An atom or molecule with a net electric charge as a result of the loss or gain of one or more electrons is known as an ion.
