What type ions do metals form?
The type of ions that metals form are called positively charged ions. The scientific name for positively charged ions is cations.
An atom that has more protons than electrons?
"Positively charged ions" or cation is the name given to an atom that has lost electrons, i.e. has more protons than electrons.Read more: Atom_with_more_electrons_than_protons
What is the name given to an atom that has become charged?
It depends, a proton if is is positively charged ( +) electron if it is negatively charged ( - )
What is the charge and the name given to an atom that loses electrons?
when an atom loses an electron it becomes positive because it just lot a negetive part to its structure. The name given to these positively charged particles is Cation
Do Molecular compounds create positive and negative ions in solution?
since a positively charged ion will be attracted to a negatively charged ion, when they come together they form a compound with different characteristics than the elements the ions came from. take table salt for example. it's an ionic compound. NaCl = Sodium chloride is its real name and they come together since a sodium atom is positively charged and a chlorine atom is negatively charged. when they come together they form NaCl.
What are the name of the ions in magnesium chloride?
The positively charged magnesium ion and the negatively charged chloride ion.
What are the four names of the positively charged ions?
Only one name known to me: CATions
What is the name or a positively charged particle in the nucleas?
The name of a positively charged particle in the nucleus is proton.
What type ions do metals form?
The type of ions that metals form are called positively charged ions. The scientific name for positively charged ions is cations.
Atoms which lose electrons and become electrically charged are called?
Ions, or more specifically Cations. When an atom loses an electron it becomes positively charged and is attracted to a cathode, hence the name cation.

Which ion is always written first in a chemical name?
The cation is always written first in a chemical name. Cations are positively charged ions, while anions are negatively charged ions. The convention is to write the cation first, followed by the anion.
What is the name given to an atom or combination of atoms with a net charge?
It is called ion. If it is positively charged then it is called as cation and if it is negatively charged it is called anion
What do positive and negative ions do to create?

Proton
