Barium metal forms the Ba²⁺ cation.
Lithium is the lightest transition metal.
Scandium is the smallest d-block element which in the past also made it the smallest transition metal. However, using the accepted modern definition of a transition metal: 'a transition metal is one which forms one or more stable ions which have incompletely filled d orbitals' scandium would not count as a transition metal, as it always forms 3+ ions with no d-electrons. Using this definition, the smallest transition metal would therefore be titanium.
No necessarily. Although the alkali metal cations are, most other cation-forming elements (metals) are not as many of them lose more than one electron. It is even more complicate for the transition metals as they can move electrons between their s and d orbitals.
No, Sc (Scandium) is not considered a transition metal. It is classified as a rare earth element.
The cation is the metal "Cu", otherwise known as the element Copper.
A single element cation and single element anion form a binary ionic compound, where one element is a metal and the other is a nonmetal. The metal forms the cation by losing electrons, while the nonmetal forms the anion by gaining electrons. Examples include NaCl (sodium chloride) and KBr (potassium bromide).
Strontium can be a neutral atom or a cation.
No, iodine is not a cation. Iodine is a non-metal halogen element that typically forms an anion in chemical reactions by gaining an electron to achieve a stable electron configuration.
Barium metal forms the Ba²⁺ cation.
No, sodium does not contain a transition metal ion. It is a Group 1 element with a +1 oxidation state. Sodium can form a halide ion, such as NaCl (sodium chloride) where the sodium loses an electron to become a positively charged cation.
Tin is not a transition metal element. Manganese, Chromium, and Osmium are all transition metals.
Lithium is the lightest transition metal.
Manganese, like many transition metal elements, is a cation (Mn^2+)
Yes it is a transition element. It is present in 5d transition series.

HgBr is an ionic compound. Mercury (Hg) is a metal element that forms cations, while bromine (Br) is a non-metal element that forms anions. In an ionic compound like HgBr, the metal cation is positively charged and the non-metal anion is negatively charged, leading to electrostatic attraction between them.
