most transition metals form ions with a 2+ charge.
If the element is a metal it will form a positive ion also known as a Cation.
some times could be other metals
by losing electrons
Transition metals form more than one ionic charge; Roman numerals (in parentheses) follow the ion's name. Cu2+ is copper (II) ion.
The transition metals are the group on the periodic table that forms ions with different charges. This is because the transition metals cannot easily gain a stable electron configuration. Some of the transition metals, such as silver, do form only one ion, however. wtf why is this here ???? bixth
All metals, whether they belong to the transition state or not, will form only positive ions. There are a few metals which are extremely hard to ionize, however, those being the noble metals such as gold and platinum. But if you do manage to ionize them, the ions are positive.
transition metals
The transition metals, including the inner transition ones.
ions
''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.

All the transition state metals can be found in the clearly marked central portion of the Periodic Table of elements, but I will tell you that most of the well-known metals, such as iron, copper, gold, lead, zinc, nickel, chromium, platinum, etc., are transition state elements. The only really well known metal that is not a transition state element is aluminum. Other metals such as calcium or sodium are also not transition state elements, but they are not often encountered in their metallic form, they are encountered in compounds such as salt. Metals that we encounter in metallic form are almost always transition state elements.

transition metals
The early vs. late transition metals differ in their oxidation states (each metal has different possible oxidation states). Electrons have a stronger attraction to the protons in the late transition metals, so the later transition metals form bonds that are harder to break.

Colored ions are normally associated with the transition metals, which aren't actually a "group" in the usual chemical sense of the word. Also, they don't have to be in aqueous solutions.
