Question

Nome a cation that contains cation having two non-metallic Elements In an ionic compound?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Here is your answer

Metals lose electrons in bonding whilst non-metals gain electrons during ionic bonding hence metals form cations and non-metals form anions. It is difficult for a nonmetal such as oxygen to lose 6 electrons to form a cation since it would need a lot of energy. When it comes to metals it is also difficult to gain that much electrons since as electrons are added the effective nuclear charge increases each time.
