Question

Metals always form negatively charged ions.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

(1)Compounds composed of metals and non-metals contain charged species.These charged species are called ions.

(2)An ion is a charged particle and can be positively or negatively charged.

(3)A positively charged ion is known as cation.

(4)A negatively charged ion is known as anion.

All metals can lose electrons easily,so all the metal elements form cations.

Metals are electropositive in nature.They lose electrons to form positive ions.Examples are ${\mathrm{Na}}^{+}$,${\mathrm{Mg}}^{2+}$etc.

Therefore,the given statement is false.
