On the left side of the table were it loses ve(+)
Elements from the group 2 of the periodic table form cations.
Groups 4 (can make positive and negative ions), 5, 6 and 7.
Sodium will be positive. Check your periodic table; all those elements on the left will always be positive ions.
The lower the the Atomic Number, the higher the Ionic Energy.
Metals on the Left Hand Side of the periodic table
Elements on the far left side of the periodic table will have the property of being highly reactive and easily losing electrons to form positive ions.
Elements that form positive ions (cations) are typically found on the left side of the periodic table, in the main group elements. These elements tend to lose electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. Elements that form negative ions (anions) are usually found on the right side of the periodic table, in the nonmetals. They tend to gain electrons to achieve a full outer shell.
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.
Givers are elements on the left side of the periodic table, known as metals, which readily give away electrons to form positive ions. Takers are elements on the right side of the periodic table, known as nonmetals, which tend to accept electrons to form negative ions.
Not true I am trying to find the same thing out but I no for a fact they are both on a periodic table.
Atoms that lose electrons to form positive ions are typically metals located on the left side of the periodic table such as sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium. These metals have low ionization energies, meaning it is easier for them to lose electrons and become positively charged ions.
Metals are positive ions. Everything on the left side of the periodic table is. Basically every element that has 4 valence electrons or less is a positive ion.
