Coloured salts generally have a cation which is a transition metal. Iron, Chromium, Manganese, Vanadium and Copper all are examples of transition metals that make colourful salts.

Notice that there are exceptions - particularly the period 6 main group metals like lead share some of the properties of the transition group metals and can make colourful salts - the bright yellow precipitate of lead iodide (PbI) is an example commonly used as demonstration of precipitation reactions.

Is sodium a anion are a cation?

Sodium is an elemental metal, found in the Periodic Table. When it ionises( looses) an electron it becomes the Sodium CATION (Na^(+)). Remember ions that have a positive charge are CATIONS, and ions that have a negative charge are ANIONS. Slo the chloride ion (Cl^-) is an ANION. Collectively they are ions.


Is most likely to be a reason why the element hydrogen is placed in group I of the periodic table?

The valence of hydrogen is 1 and form the cation H+.


Where is cation on the periodic table?

Periodic table consists of elements not cations. However group 1 and group 2 elements (left side of the periodic table) are elements which will form cations easily.


What area of the periodic table contains elements that form cation in ionic compounds?

Hydrogen only participates in ionic bonds.


Why are elements in group one of the periodic table cations?

The elements of group 1 has 1 valence electron. They lose 1 electron to form cation.


What element on the periodic table is most likely to form a cation?

The metals have tendency to lose electrons. The elements of group-1,2 and 13 have tendency to form cations.
