Those to the far left of the Periodic Table Elements belonging to Group1 of the modern periodic table form positive ions easiest. They are called alkali metals because of their tendency to form strong bases. They include Hydogen, Sodium, Potassium, etc.

Why do elements from group 1 form compounds easily?
The elements in group 1 combine easily with other elements to form compounds because they are trying to get rid of their extra electrons. That is why, for example, potassium will react strongly in water. Hope this helps.
What elements can form a positive ion?
All elements can and many often do form positive ions.
Why lithium and other group 1 elements usually form positive ions while fluorine and other group 17 elements form negative ions?
Because group 1 has 1 electron in it's outer most shell and the have to fill the energy level, so they gave there electron and form positive ion (cation). And group 17 has 7 electrons in it's outer most shell and they need to complete their shell so the gain electron and form negative ion (anion).
How many Core electron in Ne?
Neon is a noble gas with 10 electrons. Neon has 2 core electrons and 8 valence electrons. It does not share electrons with other elements to form bonds.
Why the electron affinities of beryllium and nitrogen are positive?
In general, elements attract electrons because they have positively charged nuclei, and although they also have negatively charged electron shells, the electrons are very mobile and they adjust themselves so that they have the minimum effect on other electrons while remaining as close as possible to the nucleus (a constant balancing act). The specific degree to which a given element will attract electrons is strongly influenced by the kind of electron configuration that the element has. Nitrogen, which can form a complete outer shell by acquiring another 3 electrons, has a much stronger attraction for electrons than beryllium has, since beryllium can more easily get to a complete outer shell by losing electrons than it can by gaining them.
What are elements lose electrons and form positive ions named?
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 form positive ions because they easily?
Metals form positive ions because they easily lose their electrons.
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.
Why do elements from group 1 form compounds easily?
The elements in group 1 combine easily with other elements to form compounds because they are trying to get rid of their extra electrons. That is why, for example, potassium will react strongly in water. Hope this helps.
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.
When a group 2A elements form ions they?
When Group 2A elements form ions they lose the electrons in their outer shell. In doing so they form positive ions known as cations.
What does it mean to say some elements are reactive and form ions easily whereas others do not?
Elements form ions by either gaining or losing valence electrons. The elements that lose electron(s) and gain electron(s) acquire a positive charge and negative charge respectively. The elements that lose and gain the least electrons require less ionization energy, and are more reactive than elements that need to lose or gain more electrons. For instance, elements in group 1 of the Periodic Table need to lose one electron, and are more reactive than elements in group 2 that need to lose 2 electrons.
Does group 2 on the periodic table gain or lose electrons?
they will lose electron to form mono positive cation
Do non metal elements only form positive ions?
Metals tend to form positive ions also known as cations.
What are shared to form bonds when elements are combined?
Electrons, specifically valence electrons are shared when elements form bonds.
What is shared when elements combine to form compounds?
Electrons are shared when elements combine to form molecules.
What is the positive form of easily?
easily
