How does a cation form?
Cations form when atoms lose electrons, they gain a positive charge as a result.
There are 3 atoms of helium below Which atom forms a cation?
Helium does not form cation
Is boron an cation or anion?
Boron is an element and is neither an anion or cation. If ionized it would tend to from B3+ and would be thus a cation.
Is boron a cation or a anion?
Boron is an element and is neither an anion or cation. If ionized it would tend to from B3+ and would be thus a cation.
How does a cation achieve its charge?
Ions are charged atoms. When an ion loses one or more of its electrons it becomes a cation. Cations are positively charged ions. Cations can be formed from a metal by oxidation, from a neutral base by protonation, or from a polar compound by ionization.
What is formed when atoms lose electrons?
A cation, which is a positively charged ion, is formed when an atom loses electrons.

Which atoms are found in nitrates?
Nitrates are ionic compounds that are formed with a cation (a positive ion) which is typically a metallic element with the polyatomic (many atom) ion nitrate (NO3). Therefore, nitrates always have 1 nitrogen atom and three oxygen atoms in addition to what ever atoms are in the cation to which it is bonded. An example would be potassium nitrate (KNO3) or silver nitrate (AgNO3)
What ion is formed when a metal reacts with water?
A cation is formed.
What is a cation and how is it formed?
Cations are formed through loss of electrons.
How does a cation achieve its charge?
Ions are charged atoms. When an ion loses one or more of its electrons it becomes a cation. Cations are positively charged ions. Cations can be formed from a metal by oxidation, from a neutral base by protonation, or from a polar compound by ionization.
Is a bromide ion a cation?
No, it is is not. A cation is always formed by losing an electron while bromide is an anion formed by gaining an electron. By rahul
