By giving away an electron.
Explanation:
I'm assuming you are talking about ionic bonding. Elements on the left-most part of the periodic table of elements have one extra electron to the octet rule. This is why they want to give an electron away to something else, like a flourine atom. When the element gives off an electron, it gets a positive charge, making it a positive ion.
