Only nonmetal elements can usually form monatomic anions, but some metallic elements, such as aluminum and iron, can form polyatomic anions that also include other very strongly electronegative elements, such as oxygen and fluorine.
Lithium typically does not form anions when bonding with other elements. Instead, it tends to lose one electron to form a cation (Li⁺) due to its position as an alkali metal in Group 1 of the periodic table. This cation formation allows lithium to bond with anions from other elements, such as halides or oxides, in ionic compounds.
Ions are cations (positive) or anions (negative).
Elements that will form anions are on the right side of the periodic table, except for the noble gases in group 18, which don't form ions.
Elements in group 17 of the periodic table, known as the halogens, are likely to form anions with a -1 charge. Examples include fluorine, chlorine, and iodine. These elements have 7 valence electrons and tend to gain one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration.
The elements in group-15 , 16 and 17 have 5,6 ad 7 valence electrons respectively , so they gain electrons to form anions.
anions
Anions are negative ions, so any element that gains a negative charge in a chemical reaction. Some examples of elements that commonly do this are the halogens (flourine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, astatine) and oxygen.

anions are negatively charged species anions are not seen on the Periodic Table. however the elements on the right end of the periodic table (except for noble gases, group 18) have a strong tendency to accept electrons are become anions
All the elements in groups 14-17 form anions. They all gain an electron. For example out of the these elements: F would be most likely because its the only one that is in a group 17. All the others wouldn't gain one. Because they are in groups 2,13,1,1. All the elements in groups 14-17 form anions. They all gain an electron.

Elements in group 17 of the periodic table, known as the halogens, are likely to form anions with a -1 charge. Examples include fluorine, chlorine, and iodine. These elements have 7 valence electrons and tend to gain one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration.
The elements in group-15 , 16 and 17 have 5,6 ad 7 valence electrons respectively , so they gain electrons to form anions.
Elements that have a net positive charge are called cations, while elements with a net negative charge are called anions.
