An anion is any negatively charged ion. Generally this is a trait of non-metals but it can also be exhibited by semi-metals and various polyatomics and even some metals.
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.
It is done by Non-metals and metalloids.They form anions
Atoms of column 7A become anions when they react with atoms of group 1A elements, which become cations. Both the cations and the anions are monovalent. The cations and anions together form an ionically bonded compound.
Metals become cations in solution.
Ions are cations (positive) or anions (negative).
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

cations = positively charged ions

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.
no. they become larger in size
These atoms become anions.
Metals become cations in solution.
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.
