If the element is a metal it will form a positive ion also known as a Cation.

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 metals are transition?

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.


When naming a transition metal ion that can have more than one common ionic charge the numeric value of the charge is indicated by what?

Transition metals form more than one ionic charge; Roman numerals (in parentheses) follow the ion's name. Cu2+ is copper (II) ion.


What metals form cations with varying positive charge?

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


What ions do transitional metals form?

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.


Which element group form colorful compounds?

What is the difference between late transition metals and early 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. You can read more about transition metal properties from the links below.Source(s):


What element form colored compounds?

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.
