Metals form positive ions (cations).

Metals form cations and non-metals form anions.
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.
Positive and negative ions are in ionic bond. They come from metals and non-metals
No, an ion is any atom or group atoms with a net positive or negative electric charge. Metals can form ions, but compounds contain metal ions are known as metal salts, not metals. In their pure "metallic" form metals exists as neutral atoms.
Metals for positively charged ions and nonmetals form negatively charged ions.
Elements with an intermediate number of valence electrons will behave more like metals if they are on the left side of the periodic table, closer to the alkali metals. These elements tend to have low ionization energies and are more likely to lose electrons to form positive ions, exhibiting metallic characteristics such as conductivity and malleability.
Metals form positive ions because they lose electrons.

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.
Non-metals typically become negative ions when they form ions because they gain electrons to achieve a full outer electron shell. This results in a negative charge due to the extra electrons present in the ion.
The metals and non metals which tend to form positive ions are cations. It is because of their electronic configuration.

Metals with a lower reduction potential than aluminum will be oxidized by aluminum ions. For example, magnesium and zinc are metals that can be oxidized by aluminum ions.
