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

Answer»

ong>EXPLANATION:

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.
