Cations are formed by gaining protons losing protons gaining electrons losing electrons

Answer 1

Cations are formed by losing electrons

Cations are basically positive ions


It's not lose or gain protons because atoms can't lose or gain protons. The protons don't move.
It's not gain electrons because electrons are negative. More electrons=more negative

If you can't remember cations are positive
CAT-ions are PAWS-itively charged
