Answer:

Metals form cations after ionic bonding because they completely transfer/give away electrons. 2. Non-metal form anions after ionic bonding because they attract electrons toward themselves

Answer:

Ions are electrically charged particles formed when atoms lose or gain electrons. ... Metal atoms form positive ions, while non-metal atoms form negative ions. The strong electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions are called ionic bonds
