Hi. I would like to know why one side of an island can get more rain (more rain forms), while the other gets less.

Answer:

It's because the moisture in the air condenses much quicker at a higher elevation. When the air condenses, rain clouds are formed. The side the air comes from is called the windward side, which is where there is more rainfall.
