Hi there! I believe the answer to your question is metals because I did a little bit of research about elements losing electrons and forming positive ions and it said the answer is metals :)

Elements that lose electrons and form positive ions are called metals.

METALS:

  • Metals are groups of elements with unique properties like high conductivity, malleability, ductility etc.

  • They undergo chemical reactions with other atoms (mostly non-metals) by donating their valence electrons to them. For example, sodium metal (Na) donates one electron to chlorine (Cl) to form sodium chloride (NaCl).

  • The loss of electrons by metals allows them form positive ions called cations.

  • Therefore, elements that lose electrons and form positive ions are called metals.
