A cation is a positively charged ion. Thus, it would have fewer electrons than a non ionic form of the same element, so electrons are transferred away.
No, cations (which are positively charged) are formed when neutral atoms lose electrons (which are negatively charged).
An atom which has lost an electrons forms a positive ion which is called cation. ANSWER: ADDENDUM A nucleus does not loose an electrons it just has temporarily misplaced an electrons by am external force. That electron will be practically replace immediately by an electron from the next nucleus that is how electron current is generated and sustained
Ion.
It is called an Ion.
In an ionic bond, one or more electrons are transferred from one atom to another. The atom that loses one or more electrons becomes a positively charged ion, and the atom that gains one or more electrons becomes a negatively charged ion. The ionic bond is an electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions.
An iconic bond is formed when one or more electrons are transferred from one atom to another. And a covalent bond forms when electrons are shared between atoms
Electrons.

A cation is an atom that has lost one or more electrons. An anion is an atom that has gained one or more electrons.
Ion.
An atom with more protons than electrons is a cation.
It is called an Ion.

the number of electrons lost when forming an ion and that the cation can form more than one cation.
cation
That would be a positively charged ion. (cation)
