Do alkali metals generally make anions or cations?
Cations.
Are cations metals?
cations, they all ionize to a positive charge cation=+ charge anion=- charge
What are metal cations?
Cations are ions with a positive charge. Metal cations are formed when metal loses electrons.
What chemical properties are shared by most metals?
Metals conduct electricity. Metals ionise [lose one or more electrons] to form positively charged ions - cations.
Where do cations move?
Cations are always smaller than the neutral form of the element.
What is a property of metals?
Physical properties of metals include: luster, malleability, and ductility. Chemical properties include: forming cations, and reacting with nonmetals to form ionic compounds.
Why do lithium and beryllium form ions with different charges?
Yes they do have the same properties.
What is the difference between ferric sulfate and ferrous sulfate?
Ferric sulfate contains trivalent iron cations and ferrous sulfate contains divalent iron cations. As a consequence of this, they have different ratios of iron to sulfur or oxygen and other different properties.
Do alkali metals generally make anions or cations?
Cations.
Is a flame test for cations?
yes, for cations
Will polonium make cations or anions?
cations

Where do cations move?
Cations are always smaller than the neutral form of the element.
What are chemical properties of metal?
Some chemical properties of metals are that they have good electrical and thermal conductivity. Metal also form positive ions or cations and ionic bonds. When exposed to air and moisture, many metals tend to corrode.
What kinds of elements forms cations?
Metals generally form cations
