Cations are formed by losing electrons

Cations are basically positive ions

It's not lose or gain protons because atoms can't lose or gain protons. The protons don't move.
It's not gain electrons because electrons are negative. More electrons=more negative

If you can't remember cations are positive
CAT-ions are PAWS-itively charged

It's have to be 12 or idk
