The charge on the metals depends on their configuration.Metal with one valence electron donate it and acquire one positive charge.

Do non-metals become positive or negative as ions?

Non-metals typically become negative ions when they form ions because they gain electrons to achieve a full outer electron shell. This results in a negative charge due to the extra electrons present in the ion.

When group 1A elements form ions, they form cations with a +1 charge.


What charges do metals and non-metals usually form?

Metals are usually positive and non-metals are usually negative.


What type of ions do transitional metals typically form?

cations or positive ions, as transition metals lose electrons to achieve a stable arrangement


Do metals and non metals get along?

Yes, when they become ions, their opposite charges will cause them to attract and form ionic compounds.

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.


Transition metals most often form ions with what charge?

most transition metals form ions with a 2+ charge.


What are the ionic charges in the transition metals?

Transition metals typically form cations with various charges due to their ability to lose different numbers of electrons. Common charges for transition metals include +1, +2, +3, and higher. The charges are not fixed and can vary depending on the specific element and the chemical environment.


Metals usually form from what types of ions?

Metals usually form cations, or positively charged ions.


When alkali earth metals form ions what charge do they have?

Alkali earth metals typically form +2 ions when they lose two electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration (noble gas configuration).


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.
