Web alkalis and alkali earth metals always tend to form cations whereas halogens always tend to form anions. These ions are negative because they contain more electrons than protons. Anions are negatively charged ions. Web many elements can take the form of either anions or cations depending on the situation. All metals will form cations. Elements on the left side of the periodic table tend to make cations, compared to the right side of the periodic. Web what do metals form? Web a cation is a positively charged ion with fewer electrons than protons while an anion is a negatively charged ion with more electrons than protons. Nonmetals will form anions, except for the noble gases,. Loses 1 electron to form 1+ ion.
Web most transition metals differ from the metals of groups 1, 2, and 13 in that they are capable of forming more than one cation with different ionic charges.

Elements on the left side of the periodic table tend to make cations, compared to the right side of the periodic. All metals will form cations. Loses 2 electrons to form 2+ ions. Web alkaline metals on earth (the iia elements) lose two electrons to form a 2+ cation. Oxygen often exists in a neutral state, but oxygen atoms tend to form. In these compounds you have the cation, often an alkali metal itself, stabilized in a. Web atoms gain electrons in their outer shell when they form negative ions, called anions.
