Do the positive ions tend to be metals or nonmetals?

The correct answer is metals.

Explanation:

Ions are formed when an atom gains or looses electrons.

When an atom looses electrons, it tends to form positive ions known as cations.

When an atom gains electrons, it tends to form negative ions known as anions.

Metals are the elements which looses electrons to form positive ions. For Example: Sodium will loose 1 electron to form ions.

Non-metals are the elements which gains electrons to form negative ions. For Example: Chlorine will gain 1 electron to form ion.

Hence, the correct answer is metals.

the correct answer is b. a strong acid completely dissociates to its ions when dissolved in water. completely dissociates to and ions. a is incorrect because does not fully ionize to and ions and some remain as the compound . c and d are incorrect because, and do not fall into the category of bronsted lowry acids. a bronsted lowry acid is a proton donor and since both molecules do not have a proton to donate they are not bronsted lowry acids. likewise,   if we use the lewis acid definition, they cannot be acids. a lewis acid is an electron pair acceptor. both and have a complete octet so can not accept any electrons which disqualifies them as acids.
