<u>Answer:</u> Group 1 ions are known as cations and Group 17 ions are known as anions.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Ions are formed when an atom looses or gains electrons.
If an atom gains electrons, it leads to the formation of negative ions known as anions. <u>For Example:</u> Fluorine is a Group 17 element which gains 1 electron to form ions.
If an atom looses electrons, it leads to the formation of positive ions known as cations. <u>For Example:</u> Sodium is a Group 1 element which looses 1 electron to form ions.
Hence, group 1 ions are known as cations and Group 17 ions are known as anions.
