Acidic cations
Cations that, on being added to water, undergo hydrolysis resulting in an acidic solution. Hydrated acidic cations donate protons to water to form hydronium ions (H3O+) and thus in aqueous solutions are acids according to the definition given by Bronsted. Examples in soils are Al3+ and Fe3+.
