PLEASE MARK ME BRAINLIEST AND PRESS THANK YOU :))

Answer 2

(a) Metals form positive ions by losing electrons is correct about metals.

• Loss of electrons results in formation of cations. This is easily possible for metals as they have extra valence electrons.
• Metals are the elements which have property of malleability, ductility, sonority along with lustrous appearence.
• They are also good conductors of heat and electricity.
• Non metals readily gain electrons due to incomplete valence shells and hence form anions.
