Question

what factors affect the neutral atom to form an anion are a cation?​

Answer 1

Answer:

neutral atoms form cations as they want to achieve atomic stability by achieving the electronic configuration of the nearest Noble gas by losing electrons

neutral atoms form anionss as they want to achieve atomic stability by achieving the electronic configuration of the nearest Noble gas by gaining electrons

Answer 2

Explanation:

neutral atoms form cation as they lose electrons to form nearest stable atom or gain octet.They are positively charged eg:-Na =Na+

neutral atoms form anion as they gain electrons to form nearest stable atom or gain octet rule.They are negatively charged eg=Cl =Cl-
