It would have fewer electrons. A cation is a positively charged ion which means that there are fewer negatively charged electrons than positively charged protons.

What are the characteristics of Lewis structure formulas?
Lewis structure formulas are flat graphical formulas which do not contain any 3D information. A line in a Lewis structure represents a single bond formed between two electrons, while a pair of dots can be used to show a bonding pair or a pair of non-bonding electrons.
What is a univalent cation and a trivalent cation?
The 'valency' of a cation describes the free orbitals it has to accept lewis electrons. For example, potassium is monovalent (or univalent), and only has one empty orbital to accept electrons, whereas calcium is divalent, and has two empty orbitals, (and a 2+ charge) to accept donor electrons for lewis bonding.
Which of an atom's electrons are represented as dots in a Lewis structure?
Lewis dot formula
How many electrons are available to construct the Lewis structure for the hexafluorosilicate ion?
50.

Would the Lewis structure of a cation with a 1 charge contain one more electron or one less electron than the Lewis structure for the neutral species?
yup
How many octets of electrons are in a Lewis structure?
The maximum number of electrons in a Lewis structure is eight, which is an octet of electrons.
Would a Lewis structure for a cation have more or less electrons for a Lewis structure of a neutral atom?
A action is a positively charged ion, so it would have less electrons that a neutral atom. Keep in mind that every electron adds -1 to the overall charge of the ion, so subtracting electrons adds +1 to the charge.

Which electrons do a Lewis structure show?
A Lewis diagram shows the valence electrons. They are the numbers that are from 1-8
What is the total number of electrons shown in this Lewis structure of carbon dioxide?
16 is the total number of electrons shown in the Lewis Structure of Carbon Dioxide.
What is the total number of electrons shown in the Lewis structure of carbon dioxide?
16 is the total number of electrons shown in the Lewis Structure of Carbon Dioxide.
How would you describe the Lewis dot structure for cation?
When an atom loses an electron it becomes positively charged.
