Metals. They lose electrons.
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 tend to form positive ions also known as cations.
Ions are cations (positive) or anions (negative).
Elements can form a positive ion by losing electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. Metals are more likely to form positive ions by losing electrons, while nonmetals tend to gain or share electrons to form negative ions.
It depends on the specific conditions. In some cases, positive ions can form faster due to factors such as ionization energy differences between elements. In other cases, negative ions may form more rapidly, for instance, in reactions with highly electronegative elements.
Waterfall ions refer to the ions found in natural water systems, and they can be either positive or negative. Positive ions, known as cations, include elements like calcium (Ca²⁺) and sodium (Na⁺), while negative ions, or anions, include elements like chloride (Cl⁻) and sulfate (SO₄²⁻). The overall charge of the water body can vary depending on the concentration of these ions.
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.
The lower the the Atomic Number, the higher the Ionic Energy.
Elements that tend to form positive ions (cations) include metals such as sodium (Na), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), and magnesium (Mg). These elements typically lose electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.
Sodium will be positive. Check your periodic table; all those elements on the left will always be positive ions.
