Answer: Metals form cations.

The alkali metals (the IA elements) lose a single electron to form a cation with a 1+ charge.

The alkaline earth metals (IIA elements) lose two electrons to form a 2+ cation.

Aluminum, a member of the IIIA family, loses three electrons to form a 3+ cation.

Therefore, metals in the s and p block of the periodic table have 1, 2 or 3 electrons in their outermost orbit (or valence shell). Now to gain a stable octet metals lose either 1, 2 or 3 electrons from the valence shell thus forming cation with +1, +2 or +3 charge.

How many grams of NH3 can be produced from the reaction of 28g of N2 and 25g of H2?
Reika [66]
N2<span> + 3H</span>2<span> = 2NH</span><span>3
so, NH3 = (N2 + 3H2)/ 2
            =  (28g + 3*25g)/2
            = 51.5g</span>
