Yes, you are correct. Elements that tend to lose electrons to achieve the electron dot structure of noble gases are known as metals. Metals are typically found on the left side of the periodic table and have a tendency to lose electrons in chemical reactions. This process forms positive ions or cations, as electrons are removed, resulting in a lower electron configuration resembling the stable electron arrangement of the nearest noble gas.
