Do Metals tend to have higher electronegative than nonmetals and therefore tend to form anions?
No. Metals generally have lower electronegativity and form cations.
Is fluorine an alkali metal or halogen?
No single element can be both an alkali metal (form +1 cations) and a halogen (form -1 anions).Alkali metals :LithiumSodiumPotassiumRubidiumCesiumFranciumHalogens:FluorineChlorineBromineIodineAstatine
If metals loose electrons to non metals are metals now anions?
No, it is not true. When metals loose electrons they become cations.
What are metals that lose electrons easily called?
Alkali and alkaline earth metals. Cations.
Do metals generally form anions?
NoMetals are found on the left side of the periodic table, so they need to lose electrons to be like the noble gases and satisfy the octet rule. When an atom loses electrons, it becomes positive, because electrons are negative.As for knowing whether an anion is positive or negative, you just have to memorize the fact that cations are positive and anions are negative.

What ion charges do the alkali metals form?
Alkali metals forn cations with the chrage +1.
How do you tell apart cations and anions?
cations, positively charged ions, can be told from anions, negatively charged ions, bysize--cations are smaller then the average atomic mass of the element --anions are largertype--cations are made from metals --anions are non-metalsorder--cations are always listed first in a chemical equation
Do the transition metals form cations or anions?
''Cations'' breh. Transition metals often form ions wihout complete octets that's why all the stable ions are all cations You can also tell that they form cations because some of the trans metals form colored compounds and give off light. Light is only given off by cations, not anions.
If metals loose electrons to non metals are metals now anions?
No, it is not true. When metals loose electrons they become cations.
Metals usually form from what types of ions?
Metals usually form cations, or positively charged ions.
What ions are in an ionic bond and who do they come from?
Cations and anions are in ionic bond. They come from metals and non-metals.

Why is it difficult to determine electron affinities for metals?
Most metals, especially those in the alkali and alkaline groups, want to form cations by giving away rather than forming anions by assuming an electron from another atom. For this reason, it is difficult to measure the electron affinities of metals.
What kinds of elements forms cations?
Metals generally form cations
