Cations are formed easily due to phenomenon called shielding of electrons.
Explanation:
- The shielding effect refers to the reduction of attractive force between the valence electron and the nucleus of the atom.
- If the electron has a high force of attraction with the nucleus, it is very difficult to remove them.
- When the shielding effect comes into action, due to less attractive force between the valence electron and nucleus of the atom, the electrons can be removed easily.
- Due to the easy removal of the electron, the cation formation is facilitated with less effort.
