उत्तर
The tendency of an element to form cation is the metallic character of that element.
Explanation:
Metallic character is defined by an element’s ability to lose electrons easily to form positive ions, known as cations. Metals are typically electropositive, meaning they have low ionisation enthalpy and readily donate electrons, whereas non-metals tend to gain electrons to form anions.
