Elements that are most likely to form positive ions, or cations, are typically metals found on the left side of the Periodic Table, particularly alkali metals (such as sodium and potassium) and alkaline earth metals (such as calcium and magnesium). These elements have few electrons in their outer shell, making it easier for them to lose electrons and achieve a stable electronic configuration. Transition metals can also form positive ions, though they can vary in the number of electrons lost.
The elements that lose electrons and form positive ions are called metals. They will lose the electrons from their highest levels of energy to gain a more positive charge and form positive ions.
Ions are cations (positive) or anions (negative).
Metals tend to form positive ions also known as cations.
It depends on the specific conditions. In some cases, positive ions can form faster due to factors such as ionization energy differences between elements. In other cases, negative ions may form more rapidly, for instance, in reactions with highly electronegative elements.
The lower the the Atomic Number, the higher the Ionic Energy.

Metals. They lose electrons.
Ions are cations (positive) or anions (negative).
Metals tend to form positive ions also known as cations.
Elements can form a positive ion by losing electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. Metals are more likely to form positive ions by losing electrons, while nonmetals tend to gain or share electrons to form negative ions.
It depends on the specific conditions. In some cases, positive ions can form faster due to factors such as ionization energy differences between elements. In other cases, negative ions may form more rapidly, for instance, in reactions with highly electronegative elements.
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.
The lower the the Atomic Number, the higher the Ionic Energy.
Elements that tend to form positive ions (cations) include metals such as sodium (Na), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), and magnesium (Mg). These elements typically lose electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.
Sodium will be positive. Check your periodic table; all those elements on the left will always be positive ions.
