Question

Elements that LOSE electrons to form POSITIVE cations due to strong electronegativity are generally classified as... (check all that apply)

1. metals
2. transition metals
3. non-metals

Answer 1

Metals

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, Alkali metals always loose electrons to form cations because they have one electron and it's easier to loose one electron to gain a full set of valence electrons and form a cation rather than gaining seven and forming an anion.
