Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Cations and metals have a tendency to gain electrons. The formation of ionic compounds involves the gain and loss of electrons. An electron loss in a metal atom results in a positive electric charge, whereas an electron gain in a non-metal atom results in a negative electric charge. The two atoms stick to one another due to the attraction of opposite charges, creating a powerful, durable chemical bond. Metals are positively charged species and they have a tendency to gain electrons. A cation is a positively charged species and it also has a tendency to gain electrons.
