Best Answer

The elements that lose electrons and form positive ions are called metals. They will lose the electrons from their highest levels of energy to gain a more positive charge and form positive ions.

What elements from the body form positive ions?

Metals typically form positive ions. The alkali metals and alkali earth metals form positive ions in ionic obnding whilst the transition metals form cations in a lattice of delocalised electrons.


Elements that easily lose electrons to form positive ions?

Those to the far left of the periodic table Elements belonging to Group1 of the modern periodic table form positive ions easiest. They are called alkali metals because of their tendency to form strong bases. They include Hydogen, Sodium, Potassium, etc.
