Answer 2

Answer:

by loosing electrons

Explanation:

this is because cation are positively charge. For metal atom that has a valence electron of 1,2,3,4 they have the tendency to give electron for achieving the octet rule to become stable. Thus, we know that proton number is equal to the electron number. Metals that want to become cation need to release or loosing electrons so that they have a bigger value of protons which is positively charge than the electrons which is negatively charge. REMEMBER CATION IS POSITIVE
