- Atoms with one or two valence electrons tend to lose those electrons
- Metal atoms usually have one or two valence electrons
- Therefore, metal atoms tend to lose electrons

- Metal atoms tend to lose electrons
- An ion with positive charge is formed by atom losing electrons
- So, metal atoms losing electrons will form ions with positive charge

Hence, metal atoms losing electrons will form ions with positive charge
[Question]Metal atoms will most likely form ions by the
