Atoms of metallic elements tend to

A) gain electrons and form negative ions
B) gain electrons and form positive ions
C) lose electrons and form negative ions
D) lose electrons and form positive ions

One of the properties of metals is their abilities to form a stable compounds by losing electron(s). Metals form positive ions (cations) when they lose electron(s).

Atoms of metallic elements tend to lose electrons and form positive ions.

Examples of metals include sodium, magnesium etc.

Metals are elements which require the loss of electrons in other to attain a

stable configuration. They react with other elements or compounds through

donating electrons and form positive ions.

On the other hand, atoms of non metallic elements gain electrons to achieve

a stable configuration and form negative ions.
