What are the elements that possess anions?

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.


Which element is most likely to form an anion?

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. 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.


Which tends to form anions when bonding with other elements?

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.


Which elements form a divalent cation and which elements form a trivalent anions?

Divalent cation: Ca2+ Trivalent anion: (PO4)3-


Where do you tipically find Anions on the periodic table?

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.


What types of ions do different elements form?

Ions are cations (positive) or anions (negative).


Which elements would likely for anions with a -1 charge?

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.


What kinds of elements form anions after ionic bonding?

Most of the elements in the top right of the period table (but not "group 8" - the furthest column to the right) will readily form anions (negatively charged ions) that can then form ionic bonds. Examples are O, N, P and S


What kind of elements form anion after ionic bonding?

Non metals generally form anions. They gain electrons during ionic bonding.


What kind of element metal or nonmetal can form an anion?

Non-metals gain electrons. Hence, they can easily form anions.


Which type of elements gain electrons when they form bonds?

It is done by Non-metals and metalloids.They form anions


Which family of elements in the Periodic Table form bonds by gaining electrons?

Non metals form bonds by gaining electrons. They form anions.
