Solution

The correct option is A True
Metals have valencies of 1, 2 or 3 and hence can lose electrons to non-metals to become positive ions. All metal ions are positively charged ions like alkali metals or alkaline metals.
Thus the above statement is true.

Metals are arranged in the electrochemical series based on the ease with which atoms of metals __ (lose/gain) electrons to form positively charged ions.

Q.  Metals lose electrons to form positively charged ions called _________.

Q. When we write the definition for metals we say every thing that produces positive ions (except than hydrogen) by losing electron

And for non-metals we write the opposite but still the Hydrogen is exceptional element.Why such happens?

Q. Metals tend to lose electrons and are electropositive in nature whereas non-metals tend to gain electrons and are electronegative. Identify the correct statement regarding the compounds formed by combining metals and non-metals.

Q. Assertion :Alkali metals are strong reducing agents, while halogens [non-metals], are strong oxidising agents. Reason: Metals have 1,2 or 3 valence electrons so they always ionize by losing electrons while non metals have 4, 5, 6 or 7 valence electrons so they ionize by gaining electrons.
