Step-by-step explanation:

Cations are positively charged ions.

In the question given;

CuS , known as Copper (ii) Sulphide, has Cu2+ (Copper (II) ion ) as the Cation.

Ag2SO4, Known as Silver Sulfate, has 2Ag+ ( Silver ion) as the Cation.

Al(ClO3)3, known as Aluminium Chlorate, has Al3+ (Aluminium (III) ion), as the Cation.

Co(OH)2, known as Cobalt(II) Hydroxide, has Co2+ ( Cobalt (II) ion) , as the Cation.
