The loss or gain of electrons
Explanation:
The loss or gain of electrons determines if an atom will become a cation or anion.
A cation is a positively charge ion
An anion is a negatively charged ion.
In an atom, we have sub-atomic particles:
Protons are the positively charged particles
Electrons are negatively charged
Neutrons carry no charges
Only electrons can be lost or gained in chemical processes that forms cations and anions.
When a neutral atom gains electron, it has more electrons than protons. This makes it negatively charged and we call it an anion.
When a neutral atom loses an electron, the number of protons is more. We call it a cation.

Answer:
Mn (s) + NiCl2 (aq) → MnCl2 (aq) + Ni
Explanation:
The order of displacement of metals from aqueous solution by another metal is defined by the activity series of metals.
The activity series arranges metals in order of reactivity and increasing electrode potentials. The less negative the electrode potential of a metal is, the less reactive it is and the lower it is found in the activity series.
Nickel has a less negative electrode potential than manganese hence it is displaced from an aqueous solution of its salt by manganese spontaneously.
Carbon dioxide can be the cause of burning carbon dioxide and a stove it depends on the heat of the flame in order for carbon dioxide to become carbon monoxide
sorry hope that helps though
