What are the elements that possess anions?
Only nonmetal elements can usually form monatomic anions, but some metallic elements, such as aluminum and iron, can form polyatomic anions that also include other very strongly electronegative elements, such as oxygen and fluorine.
Do nonmeatls form anions or cations?
Generally anions. (e.g. Cl-, F-, O2-, N3-)
What do cations and anions come together to form?
salt
Where do you tipically find Anions on the periodic table?
Elements that will form anions are on the right side of the periodic table, except for the noble gases in group 18, which don't form ions.
When cations and anions meet they?
form a 3-D structure
Does fluorine form monatomic anions?
Yes, fluorine does form monatomic anions with formula F-1.
What happens to an atom when it is reduced?
anions are formed

What type of ions form an ionic compound?
cations and anions
Does selenium have a positive or negative charge?
Selenium form anions.
When cations and anions meet they?
form a 3-D structure
What happens when two non metal atoms ionize?
generally anions are formed
Do metallic elements tend to form cations rather than anions?
no
