Metals form cations and non-metals form anions.
Most are shiny.
Negative ions are formed when an atom gains one or more electrons, making them nonmetals. Metals tend to lose electrons to form positive ions.
Reduction
Corrosion, React vigoriously with acids not bases, lose valence electrons to form ions when bonding, like to react with nonmetals.
Nonmetals tend to gain electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration and form negatively charged ions. This process allows them to attain a full outer energy level and become more stable by filling their valence shell.
Metals for positively charged ions and nonmetals form negatively charged ions.
Compounds with covalent bonds form molecules not ions Compounds consisting of non-metals bonded to nonmetals do not form ions
Non-metal atoms gain an electron, or electrons, from another atom to become negatively charged ions.
No. They gain electrons
A non-metal atom will form negative ions. The reason for this is because chemical bonding is based on atoms' desire to attain or emulate the electron configuration of inert or noble gases.

Negative ions are formed when an atom gains one or more electrons, making them nonmetals. Metals tend to lose electrons to form positive ions.
The metals and non metals which tend to form positive ions are cations. It is because of their electronic configuration.
We haven't seen your graph. However, it is easy to say what kinds of ions elements form. Metals form positive ions and nonmetals form negative ions.
