A cation loses electrons to form an electron configuration similar to a noble gas

Question

a cation loses electrons to form an electron configuration similar to a noble gas true or false 

 

Answer 1

True. (The wording of the question should be improved)

 

A cation is an ion with a positive charge, which is the result of losing electron(s). Losing an electron to form an electron configuration similar to a nobel gas (with 2 or 8 outer shell electrons) makes the ion more stable.
