metals generally form positively charged ions
the charge on all alkali metal ions is 1 +
Alkali metals are found in group 1 of the periodic table. They will form ions with a 1+ charge. If you meant alkaline earth, they are found in group 2, and will form ions with a 2+ charge.
Metal ions do not share electrons with one another. Metal ions have a positive charge.
The compound is neutral; the ions are Al(3+) and (NO3)-.
These metal may lose two electrons.
On their own metals have no charge. Metal ions have a positive charge.

Alkali metals are found in group 1 of the periodic table. They will form ions with a 1+ charge. If you meant alkaline earth, they are found in group 2, and will form ions with a 2+ charge.
Determine the charges of the ions involved. Balance the charges to determine the ratio of ions needed in the formula. Use Roman numerals in parentheses to indicate the charge of the transition metal. Crisscross the charges to write the formula with the lowest whole number ratio of ions.
Metal ions do not share electrons with one another. Metal ions have a positive charge.
The charge on each of the ions formed depends on the specific elements involved. The ions are then held together by the electrostatic attraction between the opposite charges (positive and negative) (called an ionic bond).
The most familiar one is aluminum, which can form ions with a charge of plus 3, for example in compounds such as aluminum oxide.
Alkaline-earth metal ions typically have a charge of +2. This is because they lose two electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, resulting in a 2+ charge. Examples of alkaline-earth metals include calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+), and barium (Ba2+).
They have a positive charge. All metals form positive ions.
When it gain electrons, it loses ions. (non-metal) Where as when it loses electron, it gains ions. (metal)
The compound is neutral; the ions are Al(3+) and (NO3)-.
