Do alkali metals generally make anions or cations?
Cations.
How many electrons do alkali metals have on there auter shell how does this affect the properties of a metal?
Alkali metal have only one electron on the external shell; the are very reactive and form cations.
Is fluorine an alkali metal or halogen?
No single element can be both an alkali metal (form +1 cations) and a halogen (form -1 anions).Alkali metals :LithiumSodiumPotassiumRubidiumCesiumFranciumHalogens:FluorineChlorineBromineIodineAstatine
What are metal cations?
Cations are ions with a positive charge. Metal cations are formed when metal loses electrons.
Why are the reagents used to test for cations usually alkali metal salts or ammonium salts rather than salts of other metals?
because poo is black

What would be produced if an alkali metal gave up a valence electron?
Positive ions (cations) are obtained: Na+, Li+, etc.
What are metal cations?
Cations are ions with a positive charge. Metal cations are formed when metal loses electrons.
What are hydrogen chlorine and sodium examples of?
Hydrogen, chlorine, and sodium are examples of chemical elements.
What ion charges do the alkali metals form?
Alkali metals forn cations with the chrage +1.

Why Alkali metal and alkaline earth metal form cation?
alkaline earth metals and alkali metals have 2 and 1 electrons in their outer most shell and are not tightly bound to nucleus so they are ready to lose their outer most electrons to form mono and divalent cations.
Is rhodium a alkali metal metal or a transition metal?
it is an alkali metal
Are cations a metal?
no
Is titanium an alkali metal?
No it's not an alkali metal the alkali metal group is in group one and two
