Metals tend to become cations becauase they lose electrons
Put a picture we can’t see the arrow
Answer:
All atoms heavier than barium
Explanation:
In the periodic table, elements are divided into blocks. We have the;
s- block elements
p- block elements
d- block elements
f- block elements
However, immediately after Barium, we now encounter elements that have f-orbitals. Barium possesses a fully filled d-orbital. Hence after it, we see elements with 4f and 5f orbitals called the Lanthanides and actinides. The elements following the lanthanide and actinide series possess completely filled f-orbitals as inner orbitals.
Hence elements heavier than barium all possess f-orbitals.

2 valence electrons
Explanation:
Most transition metals have 2 valence electrons. Valence electrons are the sum total of all the electrons in the highest energy level (principal quantum number n). Most transition metals have an electron configuration that is ns2(n−1)d , so those ns2 electrons are the valence electrons.
