Cations.
No. Metals generally have lower electronegativity and form cations.
No, metals generally do not form anions. Metals typically lose electrons to form cations (positively charged ions) because they have few valence electrons and tend to achieve a more stable electron configuration by losing electrons.
No, it is not true. When metals loose electrons they become cations.
Alkali metal salts and ammonium salts are used to test for cations because they are highly soluble in water and do not form insoluble precipitates with common anions. This allows for a clear identification of the cations present in a solution. Other metal salts may form insoluble precipitates with anions, making it difficult to detect the cations accurately.
No single element can be both an alkali metal (form +1 cations) and a halogen (form -1 anions).Alkali metals :LithiumSodiumPotassiumRubidiumCesiumFranciumHalogens:FluorineChlorineBromineIodineAstatine

Alkali metals forn cations with the chrage +1.

No, it is not true. When metals loose electrons they become cations.
Cations and anions are in ionic bond. They come from metals and non-metals.

''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.
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

Metals generally form cations
Anions are negatively charged ions that gain electrons, while cations are positively charged ions that lose electrons. Anions are typically nonmetals and cations are typically metals. In compound formation, anions and cations combine through ionic bonding to achieve a neutral charge. Anions and cations attract each other due to their opposite charges, forming stable compounds.
The atomic radius of cations is lower.
