Pretty much all the groups (except maybe the noble gases) can participate in forming ionic compounds. For example, any metal bonding with a non metal is likely to form an ionic compound.

Where is cation on the periodic table?

Periodic table consists of elements not cations. However group 1 and group 2 elements (left side of the periodic table) are elements which will form cations easily.


In group 2 on the periodic table are they positive ions when they bond with other elements?

Elements from the group 2 of the periodic table form cations.


What is cation and we're can you find it on a periodic table?

Cations are positively charged ions. Metals form cations.They are present on left side in periodic table.


Which group in the periodic table will form cations with a 3 positive charge?

a group that forms anions with a -1 charge


Elements in group 1 of the periodic table lose one electron to form ions with what?

These cations have the electrical charge +1.


Why are elements in group one of the periodic table cations?

The elements of group 1 has 1 valence electron. They lose 1 electron to form cation.


What side of the periodic table are cations found on?

They are not found anywhere on the periodic table. Only elements are in the periodic table. A cation is a positively charged ion. Most of the elements that will form cations are found more or less in the middle of the table except for hydrogen.


What element on the periodic table is most likely to form a cation?

The metals have tendency to lose electrons. The elements of group-1,2 and 13 have tendency to form cations.


What characteristics does group 1 share from the periodic table?

Group 1contain alkali metals; all are very reactive, react also with water, form monovalent cations.


How are Group one of the periodic table different from any other?

Group-1 are alkali metals. They are highly metallic. Their valence electron is 1. They loose 1 electron to form cations.


How are cations and anions arranged on the periodic table?

Going across the periodic table from left to right ignoring the transition metals, +1 charge are for group IA, group IIA is for +2 then it skips to group IIIB with +3 charge, group VB is -3, group VIB is -2, group VIIB is -1 charge.


What is a cation and is it on the periodic table?

cation is positively charged ion. metals lose electrons to form cations.
