What does the color coding green pink blue in the periodic table indicate?
The color coding in the Periodic Table of the Elements shows the different familes of elements. There are further sub-groupings existent. For example, there are six different colors used for the metals, one for metalloids, and three for non-metals. Green represents "Other Non-Metals". Pink is used for the Actinides. Blue indicates that a substance is a member of the Noble Gases.

How do you know if an element is an ion?
When metals combine with non-metals you normally get an ionic compound. So, sodium chloride is ionic. When non-metals combine with other non-metals you get a covalent type of compound, so water is covalent. If you really want to distinguish between the two you need to become familiar with the Periodic Table of Elements.
