Question

What are anions and cations? How are these anions and cations formed?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Cations (positively-charged ions) and anions (negatively-charged ions) are formed when a metal loses electrons, and a nonmetal gains those electrons. The electrostatic attraction between the positives and negatives brings the particles together and creates an ionic compound, such as sodium chloride.

Answer 2

Answer:

Anions are negatively charged ions and cations are positively charged ions.

Metallic atoms hold some of their electrons relatively loosly. Consequently, they tend to lose electrons and form cations

Most non-metallic atoms attract electrons more strongly than metallic atoms and so gain electrons to form anions.
