What kind of ions do metals form
2 answers:
Answer: cations
Explanation:
Metals are defined as the elements which loose electrons to attain stable electronic configuration. If an atom looses electrons, it leads to the formation of positive ions known as cations.
For Example: Sodium looses 1 electron to form ions.
Non-metals are defined as the elements which gain electrons to attain stable electronic configuration. If an atom gains electrons, it leads to the formation of negative ions known as anions.
For Example: Fluorine gains 1 electron to form ions.

Please find the structure attached as an image
Explanation:
Based on the characteristics ending name (-ene) of the organic compound above, it belongs to the ALKENE GROUP. Alkenes are characterized by the possession of a carbon to carbon double bond (C=C) in their structure.
- But-3-ene tells us that the organic compound has four straight carbon atoms with the C=C (double bond) located on the THIRD carbon depending on if we count from right to left or vice versa.
- 2 methyl indicates that the methyl group (-CH3) is located as an attachment on the second carbon (carbon 2).
N.B: In the structure attached below, the counting is from the left to right (→).
