Metals tend to form bonds by giving up electrons.

zale101 · Answer

The ionic bonding of metals have fewer electrons on their outer shells, and their protons have a stronger charge in the nucleus. When electrons in the outermost shells have lower energies, they tend to give up electrons to nonmetals, making the metal more positively charge and the nonmetal more negatively charge. Because meals usually have less valence electrons, they give up electrons easily.

Notice the alkali metals, alkali earth metals (the left side of the periodic table), their elements usually has more protons (positively charged), while the right side of the periodic table (noble gases, nonmetals) has more electrons than protons (negatively charged)
