Metals form cations by the complete transfer of electrons.
Metalloids and some noble gases generally form covalent bonds
Yes. You can see some by looking at a neon sign.
Metalloids generally do not form cations as readily as metals do due to their intermediate properties between metals and nonmetals. However, under certain conditions, metalloids like boron and silicon can form cations by losing electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.
They don't form any ion.
Remember a family is also a group, so 3A - 7A.
Noble gases doesn't form many compounds because they are extremely unreactive.

noble gases are elements and generally do not form cations due to the presence of completely filled valence shells.

The ions are b, anions and cations. Note that xenon is not an ion, it is a noble gas.
Most of the time, but not always. We often see the common Ca2+ or Al3+ being metals but there are non-metal ones like H+ or H3O+
Noble gases doesn't form many compounds because they are extremely unreactive.
Noble gases are stable in nature. They are placed in group-18.
Noble gases, such as helium, neon, and argon, do not typically form compounds because they have a stable electron configuration with a full outer shell of electrons, making them very unlikely to gain or lose electrons to form bonds with other elements.
Noble Gas Configurations
No. All metalloids are solid at room temperature.
