Non metals tend to form Anions as they gain electron(s). This occurs normally and usually naturally. There are cases where nonmetals can become Cations as well but it would take a lot of energy to take away an electron from the valence shell. (Refer to Ionization Energy)
No, some non metals as Boron and Silicon do not form the anions , but it is still true that most of the non metals usually form anions.
Nonmetals tend to form anions (negatively charged) because they gain electrons from the metals.
Not always. Anions are any element or compound that has gained electrons making it more negative.
ionic compounds can desociate into anion & cation.. non ionic compounds can not desociates into anion & cation..
Ions of opposite charge, cations and anions. Often these involve a metal cation and a non-metal anion but this is not always the case for example ammonium sulfate contains a poly atomic cation and a poly atomic anion and all of the elements present are non-metals.
is scandium a cation or an anion
Can an ionic compound ever consist of a cation-cation or anion- anion bond? Explain.
Can an ionic compound ever consist of a cation-cation or anion- anion bond? Explain.
Yes, Ionic bonds are the bonds between a cation(metal) and an anion(non-metal)
I don't know about radon, but xenon gas, also a noble gas, is an anion when it makes compounds, as rarely as it does.

anion. bromine is a non metal which gains an electron making it negative.

Aluminium, like most metals, forms cations easier than it does anions. The most common for aluminum is Al3+, when it has lost three electrons.
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.
