Answer: -

Cation

Explanation: -

Metals have low ionization enthalpy. So they tend to lose it's electrons to fulfill octet.

Upon losing electrons, a metal atom has more protons than neutrons.

The electrical neutrality of the atom is no longer there.

The metal atom after losing electron has a positive charge.

They are referred to as cations.

Lower the group of periodic table an element is found, more is it's tendency to form cations.

Based on the nebular theory of the solar system formation, explain how our solar system is formed.
Alika [10]

the nebular theory states that the solar systems developing <u><em>rotations </em></u>revolve around sun. it is located in the milky-way. revolving around the <u><em>sun</em></u>, with <u><em>gravity</em></u> pulling it, an interstellar cloud of dust and gas, is formed. (i.e. the nebula that we are speaking)

this formation is a<u><em> protostar</em></u>. the idea in the theory states that the <u><em>nebula</em></u> has flattened into a <u><em>disk</em></u> called the "protoplanetary disk"; and over time, the debreis eventually formed this disk. (i.e. creating the milky-way)

hopefully this helped, thank you!! :D
