any atom lose one electron or more become positive ion ( Cation )

Dont really get your question:( BY definition, an atom that has lost or gained an electron meaning its a charged particle. A cation is an atom that has lost electrons to form a positively charged atom meaning that a cation is an ion.

However, an anion also falls under the definition of an ion ( An anion is an atom that has gained an electron to form a negatively charged particle) In that case, it will need to lose electrons to form a cation(positively charged particle.) Not sure if you are referring to that though hope that helps:DD

Is sodium an anion or a cation?

The easiest way for sodium (Na) to achieve noble gas stability is for it to lose 1 electron. When this happens, you still have 11 protons, but now you have 10 electrons. 11 positives and 10 negatives equals an overall +1 charge. A cation is a positively charged ion.
