Among the eight elements in the table, metals are most likely to form positive ions, or cations. This is because they have fewer valence electrons and are inclined to lose these electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, typically resembling the nearest noble gas. Elements such as sodium (Na) or calcium (Ca) readily lose one or two electrons, respectively, to form positively charged ions (Na⁺, Ca²⁺). Nonmetals, on the other hand, tend to gain electrons and form negative ions (anions).
There are eight third period transition elements on the periodic table.
Elements from the group 2 of the periodic table form cations.
positive element is an example of a normal element!!
Periodic table consists of elements not cations. However group 1 and group 2 elements (left side of the periodic table) are elements which will form cations easily.
The most reactive elements are alkali metals and halogens.
That stands for "One hundred eight Elements in the Periodic Table", but this is now obsolete. As of 2008, at least 117 elements have been discovered.

Most likely helium, an element on the Periodic Table of Elements.
Table sugar, which most likely is sucrose, is a compound.
group 18, noble gases
Oxidation numbers generally increase from left to right on the periodic table. This is because elements on the left side have fewer valence electrons and are more likely to lose electrons (becoming more positive), while elements on the right side have more valence electrons and are more likely to gain electrons (becoming more negative).
Yes, certain elements in the periodic table, such as elements in the third row and beyond, can have an expanded octet, meaning they can have more than eight valence electrons in their outer shell.
Group 1 elements followed by group 2 elements.
Group I (alkali metals) and Group II (alkaline earth metals) elements on the periodic table are more likely to give away electrons to form positive ions. These elements have one or two electrons in their outermost energy level, making it easier for them to lose these electrons and achieve a stable electron configuration.
