GENERAL GEOLOGY

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. It has fewer electrons than protons.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ions with a positive charge are called cations. Ions with a negative charge are called anions.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cations are ions that are positively charged. Anions are ions that are negatively charged. Ions are charged atoms or molecules. If a balanced atom loses one or more electrons, it will become a positively charged cation.

Detailed explanation-5: -An anion is an atom or a molecule which is negatively charged, i.e. has more number of electrons than protons. A cation is an atom or a molecule which is positively charged, i.e. has more number of protons than electrons.
