Do metalloids or noble gases form cations?
Metals form cations by the complete transfer of electrons. Metalloids and some noble gases generally form covalent bonds
Where do cations move?
Cations are always smaller than the neutral form of the element.
Are cations metals?
cations, they all ionize to a positive charge cation=+ charge anion=- charge
How does a cation form?
Cations form when atoms lose electrons, they gain a positive charge as a result.
Do noble gases tend to form cations?
Yes. You can see some by looking at a neon sign.

What type of ions do elements on the right side of the periodic table form?
cations = positively charged ions
What kinds of elements forms cations?
Metals generally form cations
Where do cations move?
Cations are always smaller than the neutral form of the element.
Why do cations form?
metals have high electropositivity and low ionisation energy. So they tend to form cations easily.
Metals usually form from what types of ions?
Metals usually form cations, or positively charged ions.
Do the transition metals form cations or anions?
''Cations'' breh. Transition metals often form ions wihout complete octets that's why all the stable ions are all cations You can also tell that they form cations because some of the trans metals form colored compounds and give off light. Light is only given off by cations, not anions.
Which of the following elements are not cations?
Most of the time, but not always. We often see the common Ca2+ or Al3+ being metals but there are non-metal ones like H+ or H3O+

Which elments are cations positive oxidation state?
Metals form cations and have positive oxidation states.
