An ion is formed when an atom gains or loses an electron
Metals for positively charged ions and nonmetals form negatively charged ions.
Acids form hydrogen ions (H+) in water, while bases form hydroxide ions (OH-) in water. In addition to the hydrogen and hydroxide ions, acids and bases can also form other ions depending on the specific chemical composition of the acid or base.
Metals form positive ions and form ionic compounds with negative ions.
Yes, xenon can form monatomic ions, known as xenon ions. Xenon can lose electrons to form positively charged xenon ions or gain electrons to form negatively charged xenon ions.
Dispersion & Dissociation
Sodium +1 Aluminum +3 Calcium +2 Sulfer -2 Nitrogen -3
Metals form cations and non-metals form anions.
Noble gases doesn't form ions.
H+ ions
Chloride ions would form elements with ions of metallic elements. For example, with sodium ions, chloride ions form sodium chloride.
lose 2 electrons and form ions with a 2+ charge.
Because they want to.
