Are ions of alkali metals larger or smaller than ions of alkaline metals from the same period?
larger
What type of ions will nonmetals form?
Metals form cations and non-metals form anions.
What ions are in an ionic bond and who do they came from?
Positive and negative ions are in ionic bond. They come from metals and non-metals
What is the charge of ions and positive ions?
There are two types of charges of ions that are the negative and the positive charges. Ionic bonding is between 2 types of elements;the metals and non-metals. Metals loose electrons while non-metals gain electrons. when they form ions they obtain charges. The metals always gain a positive charge as they loose electrons while the non-metals always gain a negative charge as they gain electrons.
What type of elements form positive ions and what are positive ions called?
The elements that lose electrons and form positive ions are called metals. They will lose the electrons from their highest levels of energy to gain a more positive charge and form positive ions.
Do non-metals become positive or negative as ions?
It is possible to make positive ions of nonmetals e.g. oxygen, chlorine, by putting enough energy into them. They normally form negative ions when in a spontaneous reaction.
What kind of ions do metals form and what kind of ions do nonmetals form?
Metals for positively charged ions and nonmetals form negatively charged ions.
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.
What type of atoms forms positive ions metals or non metals?
Metals form positive ions because they lose electrons.
Are ions of alkali metals larger or smaller than ions of alkaline metals from the same period?
larger
Do all metals behave the same?
Not all metals will behave in the same way. Calcium for example is a metal that is not nearly as conductive as silver.
What type of ions will nonmetals form?
Metals form cations and non-metals form anions.
Of metals and nonmetals which tend to form positive ions?
The metals and non metals which tend to form positive ions are cations. It is because of their electronic configuration.
Are ions of alkali metals larger or smaller than ions of alkaline earth metals from the same period?
larger
Are ions of alkali metals larger or smaller than ions or alkaline earth metals from the same period?
larger
What ions are in an ionic bond and who do they came from?
Positive and negative ions are in ionic bond. They come from metals and non-metals
What elements from the body form positive ions?
Metals typically form positive ions. The alkali metals and alkali earth metals form positive ions in ionic obnding whilst the transition metals form cations in a lattice of delocalised electrons.
