An anion is any negatively charged ion. Generally this is a trait of non-metals but it can also be exhibited by semi-metals and various polyatomics and even some metals.

What are the elements that possess anions?
Only nonmetal elements can usually form monatomic anions, but some metallic elements, such as aluminum and iron, can form polyatomic anions that also include other very strongly electronegative elements, such as oxygen and fluorine.
What do group 7A elements become when they react with group 1A?
Atoms of column 7A become anions when they react with atoms of group 1A elements, which become cations. Both the cations and the anions are monovalent. The cations and anions together form an ionically bonded compound.
Which type of elements gain electrons when they form bonds?
It is done by Non-metals and metalloids.They form anions
Which group of element take in electrons and what do they become?
Group 17 and group 16 elements will take one and two electrons respectively to form mono negative and dinegative anions.
What type of elements become cations?
metals in general
What is an anion and where can you find it on the periodic table?
anions are negatively charged species anions are not seen on the Periodic Table. however the elements on the right end of the periodic table (except for noble gases, group 18) have a strong tendency to accept electrons are become anions

How are negative ions of elements named?
anions
What type of anions are formed in the halogens?
anions with -1 charge
What does an element that forms an anion do?
When the element bonds with another element it accepts electrons (it does not give them away) and becomes negatively charged.
Do metallic elements tend to form cations rather than anions?
no
Do anions become smaller with increasing charge?
no. they become larger in size
Which tends to form anions when bonding with other elements?
Anions are negative ions, so any element that gains a negative charge in a chemical reaction. Some examples of elements that commonly do this are the halogens (flourine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, astatine) and oxygen.
Which group of element take in electrons and what do they become?
Group 17 and group 16 elements will take one and two electrons respectively to form mono negative and dinegative anions.
When atoms lose electrons in an ionic bond what do they become?
These atoms become anions.
