The transition metals are the group on the Periodic Table that forms ions with different charges. This is because the transition metals cannot easily gain a stable electron configuration. Some of the transition metals, such as silver, do form only one ion, however. wtf why is this here ???? bixth

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.
Metals usually form from what types of ions?
Metals usually form cations, or positively charged ions.
Explain why almost all metals tend to form cation?
Metals lose electrons, gaining a positive charge, thus becoming cations. An easy way to remember which is which is that cats (cations) are happy (positive) and onions(anions) make you cry (negative).
Elelments that have a full outer shell of electrons are cations?
No. Elements that have a full outer shell of electrons are referred to as being stable. Cations are electrons that have a positive charge. However, when elements lose electrons to become stable, they are called cations.
How can you determine the charge of metal cations nonmetal anions and transition metal cations?
How to determine these ions:metal cations: find the positive charge, and make sure it is qual to the group numbernonmetal anions: subtract 8 from the group numbertransition metals cations: the number of electrons lost
Are cations metals?
cations, they all ionize to a positive charge cation=+ charge anion=- charge
What is the charge all metals produce?
Cations are positive.
Do metal ions have a positive charge?
On their own metals have no charge. Metal ions have a positive charge.
What type of elements form positive ions and what are positive ions called?
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.
What elements or molecules are cations?
Cation is a positive ion, not an element; for metals the symbol is Mex+.
Which elments are cations positive oxidation state?
Metals form cations and have positive oxidation states.
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.
How do ions in metals behave?
Metals form positive ions (cations).
Metals usually form from what types of ions?
Metals usually form cations, or positively charged ions.
Explain why almost all metals tend to form cation?
Metals lose electrons, gaining a positive charge, thus becoming cations. An easy way to remember which is which is that cats (cations) are happy (positive) and onions(anions) make you cry (negative).

No. Elements that have a full outer shell of electrons are referred to as being stable. Cations are electrons that have a positive charge. However, when elements lose electrons to become stable, they are called cations.
Of metals and nonmetals which tend to form positive ions?
The metals and non metals which tend to form positive ions are cations. It is because of their electronic configuration.
