Yes. You can see some by looking at a neon sign.

What types of ions do noble gases tend to form?
They don't form any ion.
How can you tell what type of ion an atom will form by looking at the periodic table?
elements which have 1 to 3 valence electrons will generally lose electrons and form cations. elements which need 1 to 3 electrons to attain the nearest noble gas configuration will generally gain electrons and form anions
Do Metals tend to have higher electronegative than nonmetals and therefore tend to form anions?
No. Metals generally have lower electronegativity and form cations.
What is the name given to elements in column 18 of the periodic table?
Group 18 on the Periodic Table contains the Inert Gases. Inert Gases tend to be unreactive. This group has the elements Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon, and Radon.
Why do metals form cation?
metals have high electropositivity and low ionisation energy. So they tend to form cations easily.
What types of ions do noble gases tend to form?
They don't form any ion.
What Elements near the noble gases tend to form what bond?
If you think to halogens they form ionic bonds with metals.
What is the difference between elements that tend to form anions or form cations?
In general, metals form cations (positive ions) and non-metals form anions (negative ions.) This is because metals have fewer valence electrons, and lose them when they bond, and non-metals have more, and gain them when they bond.
Why don't the noble glass tend to form chemical bonds?
The noble gases are unreactive because their valence shells are full, making them stable.
How can you tell what type of ion an atom will form by looking at the periodic table?
elements which have 1 to 3 valence electrons will generally lose electrons and form cations. elements which need 1 to 3 electrons to attain the nearest noble gas configuration will generally gain electrons and form anions
Why are the noble gases not included on the table of electronegativities?
they already have full shells so they dont tend to form compounds
Why do cations form?
metals have high electropositivity and low ionisation energy. So they tend to form cations easily.
Which group of elements form cations?
what are true about cationA.Metals are not likely to form cations.B.Cations are always smaller than the neutral form of the element.C.Cation size decreases as you go down a group.D.All cations are larger than any anion.E.Cations cannot form in nature.
Do metallic elements tend to form cations rather than anions?
no
Do Metals tend to have higher electronegative than nonmetals and therefore tend to form anions?
No. Metals generally have lower electronegativity and form cations.
When atoms of elements on the left side of the periodic table ionize they tend to?
They tend to loose electron. They form cations.
What type ions do metals form?
The type of ions that metals form are called positively charged ions. The scientific name for positively charged ions is cations.
