Are cations metals?
cations, they all ionize to a positive charge cation=+ charge anion=- charge
Why not all metals emit colors in the flame test?
no not all metals produce a colour flame.
Which element when combined with fluorine most likely form an ionic compound?
Generally all metals, but mostly Alkali metals. This is because Alkali metals have a 1+ charge, and Fluorine has a 1- charge.
Is all metals are positively charge give answer with examples?
yes, all metal has positively charge like co, mg
Do all metals respond to magnet?
Magnetism in metals is due to electrons flowing in the same direction, causing a magnetic field. Not all metals produce a magnetic field.
Do electrons have a negetive charge?
Yes! they are Electrons produce negative charge, and protons produce positive charge, while neutrons produce no charge at all.
Do all alkaline metals form ions with a positive charge?
Yes, all metal ions are positive.
What is the charge on alkaline earth metals?
the charge is 2+
What charge do metals typically take on?
positive charge
Are metals alkaline?
Yes When metals react with water they produce a metal hydroxide, this contains an OH- ion (which accepts protons and is therefore alkaline) This makes all metals alkaline.
What metals do this very well for electricity and heat?
All metals except mercury can conduct both heat and electricitythrough them very well. Metals have big pool of electrons and specially surface electrons that are easy to move can conduct electricity. All metals are shiny. All metals are ductile. Most of the metals can be mixed together to produce alloys.
What charge does an ion of an alkali metal have?
Your Alkali Metals are those elements on the leftmost column of the periodic table (except for Hydrogen). Lithium (Li), Sodium (Na), Potassium (K), Rubidium, Cesium, Francium. You can remember them as those that form the Alkali bases, Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH), and Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) among others. In Pure Metallic form, they would have a neutral charge. However, they are frequently found in ionic form where they loose an electron to form a positive ion with a +1 charge. Li+ Na+ K+ etc.
