Elements with nearly full valence band orbitals. These elements are on the right side of the Periodic Table.
We haven't seen your graph. However, it is easy to say what kinds of ions elements form. Metals form positive ions and nonmetals form negative ions.
cations = positively charged ions
Group 1 elements are the alkali metals, which form ions wih a 1+ charge.
Non-metal atoms gain an electron, or electrons, from another atom tobecome negatively charged ions. (i.e. anion)You can visit igcsechem.webs.com (advanced) or ks3science.webs.com (basic) to learn more chemistry!
The type of ions that metals form are called positively charged ions. The scientific name for positively charged ions is cations.

Ionic bonds form between positive and negative ions.
Elements on the right-hand side of the periodic table, that is to say, non-metals, will form negative ions. This is because, in order to become stable, they need to GAIN electrons, making them more negative than they were before. For example, Oxygen has 6 valence electrons, and needs 2 more to reach a stable octet. If it gains 2 electrons is will have a charge of -2, making it a negative ion.

Elements from the Right Hand Side of the periodic table especially from the halogens and the oxygen groups form negative ions in ionic compounds.
Ionic bonds form between positive and negative ions.
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.
The type of ions that metals form are called positively charged ions. The scientific name for positively charged ions is cations.
It can be. An ion is an atom with more or less electrons than protons. But having 8 valence electrons (simply) means it has a full outer shell. But the noble gases already have a full shell without being an ion.
