Compounds that contain a positive electrical charge. They exhibit germicidal
properties.
Cationic
Anionic - Correct Answer-Cationic
Cationic compounds are substances that carry a positive electrical charge. These
compounds have the ability to exhibit germicidal properties, meaning they can kill
or inhibit the growth of microorganisms. This is due to their positive charge, which
allows them to interact with negatively charged components of microorganisms,
disrupting their cellular processes and ultimately leading to their death. Therefore,
cationic compounds are effective in disinfection and sanitation applications. -
