Metals for positively charged ions and nonmetals form negatively charged ions.
Metals tend to lose electrons, so they form positive ions called cations.

Metals form positive ions (cations).
Metals form cations and non-metals form anions.
The metals and non metals which tend to form positive ions are cations. It is because of their electronic configuration.
The elements that lose electrons and form positive ions are called metals. They will lose the electrons from their highest levels of energy to gain a more positive charge and form positive ions.
Metals form positive ions and form ionic compounds with negative ions.
Metals form positive ions because they lose electrons.
Metals typically form positive ions. The alkali metals and alkali earth metals form positive ions in ionic obnding whilst the transition metals form cations in a lattice of delocalised electrons.
