Answer:
Most metals from cations and most non-metals anions.
But some elements can form both - cations or anions under the right conditions.
One non-metallic element which is such is Hydrogen.
It can lose ( H+ ) or gain ( H-) an electron, forming:
hydride compounds - ZnH2 (anion)
hydron compounds - H2O (cation)
