What is a cation and is it on the periodic table?
cation is positively charged ion. metals lose electrons to form cations.
Which metals does not form more than one type of cation Fe Sn Cu Ag?
Ag
Are cations metals?
cations, they all ionize to a positive charge cation=+ charge anion=- charge
What element on the periodic table is most likely to form a cation?
The metals have tendency to lose electrons. The elements of group-1,2 and 13 have tendency to form cations.
What kind of elements forms after cation bonding?
metals
What is a cation and is it on the periodic table?
cation is positively charged ion. metals lose electrons to form cations.
What kind of metals do ions form?
positive
Does potassium form anions?
No. Like other metals potassium forms a monatomic cation.
Does potassium form monatomic anions?
No. Like other metals potassium forms a monatomic cation.
Transition metals most often form ions with what charge?
most transition metals form ions with a 2+ charge.
In ionic compounds nonmetals lose their valence electrons to form positively charged cation?
metals cations
Which metals does not form more than one type of cation Fe Sn Cu Ag?
Ag
How do you find if an element is anion or a cation?
An element's number of protons can predict whether it will form a cation or anion. It will form a cation if it has more protons than electrons, or an anion if there are more electrons than protons.
What elements or molecules are cations?
Cation is a positive ion, not an element; for metals the symbol is Mex+.
What types of ions do metals form in an ionic bond?
Metals want to lose electrons while non-metals gain them. An ion that loses electrons becomes positive and a cation.
Are cations metals?
cations, they all ionize to a positive charge cation=+ charge anion=- charge
What element on the periodic table is most likely to form a cation?
The metals have tendency to lose electrons. The elements of group-1,2 and 13 have tendency to form cations.
