The Alkali Metals (Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Caesium, Francium and Rubidium) can all lose a single electron to form positive ions and most other elements in the low groups (i.e Groups 1, 2 and 3) lose their electrons to all form positive ions.

What kind of element forms cation after ionic bounding?
A metal becomes a cation (postively-charged ion) after ionic bonding in a salt.
Period 3 element that forms a 3- ion?
The third period element that forms a 3- ion is sulfur.
What is the difference between an element and its ion?
An element has it's protons balanced with electrons. The ion of an element is unbalanced: either positively charged if it lost an electron or negatively charged if it gained one.
If an element is missing one electron... is it a positive ion negative ion different element or different isotope?
If an element is missing one electron, which is defined as having a negative charge, then the element is a positively charged ion. If an element gains an extra electron, it will have a negative charge and be a negative ion. An element with an equal number of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons is considered to be a neutral element (in other words, no charge). By the way, no charge for this answer!
What can be concluded if an ion of an element is smaller than an atom of the same element?
The ion is positively charged because it has fewer electrons than the atom.
What kind of element forms cation after ionic bounding?
A metal becomes a cation (postively-charged ion) after ionic bonding in a salt.
When an element forms a negative ion what happens to its name?
When an element forms a negative ion, the name changes to IDE, fir example: chloride
Does the element Mg positively charged?
No isolated element is positively charged. However, in the presence of a nonmetal acceptor element, an atom of magnesium readily forms a positively charged ion by donating its two valence electrons to one or two nonmetal anions.
Period 3 element that forms a 3- ion?
The third period element that forms a 3- ion is sulfur.
What is the difference between an element and its ion?
An element has it's protons balanced with electrons. The ion of an element is unbalanced: either positively charged if it lost an electron or negatively charged if it gained one.
What is an element with a charge?
an ion: a cation if it is positively charged; an anion if it is negatively charged
Is Cl a positively charged ion?
No. Chlorine forms a negative ion, Cl-
If an element is missing one electron... is it a positive ion negative ion different element or different isotope?

If an element gains an extra electron, it will have a negative charge and be a negative ion. An element with an equal number of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons is considered to be a neutral element (in other words, no charge). By the way, no charge for this answer!
Which element forms an ion with the same charge as the ammonium ion?
potassium
Which element forms more than one ion?
The ion is awesom
A charged particle forms when an atom transfers electrons is an?
A charged particle that forms when an atom transfers electrons is an ion. An atom that loses an electron forms a positively charged ion called a cation; an atom that gains an electron forms a negatively charged ion called an anion.
Which element is an ionic chloride?
negatively charged ion Cl−
