Question

Describe the formation of anion or cation by the following elements sulphur, chlorine, nitrogen, magnesium, lithium

Answer 1

Answer:

Cations can be formed from metal elements, as well as nonmetal elements. If a metal element forms an ion, it always forms a cation. Some metals always form the same type of cation. For example, sodium always forms a +1 cation and magnesium always forms a +2 cation.
