Detailed explanation-1: -Cations are positively charged ions. They are formed when a metal loses its electrons. They lose one or more than one electron.
Detailed explanation-2: -An anion (−) (/ˈænˌaɪ. ən/ ANN-eye-ən, from the Greek word (ánō), meaning “up") is an ion with more electrons than protons, giving it a net negative charge (since electrons are negatively charged and protons are positively charged).
Detailed explanation-3: -A cation is an atom or a molecule which is positively charged, i.e. has more number of protons than electrons. Eg: Na+ 3. An anion is an atom or a molecule which is negatively charged, i.e. has more number of electrons than protons. Eg: Cl−
Detailed explanation-4: -Cations are positively charged and anions carry a negative charge. Ions form when atoms gain or lose electrons. Since electrons are negatively charged, an atom that loses one or more electrons will become positively charged; an atom that gains one or more electrons becomes negatively charged.
