https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.C00909
Ion exchanger with cations as counter-ions. The term cation-exchange resin may be used in the case of solid organic polymers. The acid form of a cation exchanger is the ionic form of a cation exchanger in which counter-ions are hydrogen ions (H-form) or the ionogenic groups have added a proton forming an undissociated acid.
