The loss of one or more electrons causes the formation of a cation, or positive ion.
Cs+ cation
Boron is a metalloid element with the symbol B. In chemical compounds, boron tends to form covalent bonds rather than ionic bonds, so it does not typically exist as a cation or anion in its pure elemental form.
No. helium does not form cation
Yes, barium cation is Ba2+.
Yes - Al -----> Al3+ is the cation.
Lithium is a cation because it has a positive charge. It loses one electron to achieve stability and form the Li+ ion.
Strontium is Sr and its CATION would be Sr2+ - it does not form anions.
Lithium can form a cation by losing an electron from its outermost shell, which is its valence electron. This results in the formation of Li+ cation with a positive charge.
Silver forms a cation with a charge of +1, represented as Ag+.
An atom that loses two electrons will form a cation with a +2 charge. For example, sodium can form a Na+ cation by losing two electrons.
The cation would be C6H5NH3+ and the anion would be C6H5NH-
When it looses two electrons, it'll become a Mg2+ cation
