Boron does not form cations or anions in compounds. Borides which could be thought to contain anions are covalent. There are no simple B3+ compounds. The ionization ebnery is very high and the polarising effect of B3+ would be extreme leading to covalency.

Is boron a cation or an anion?

Boron is a metalloid element with the symbol B. In chemical compounds, boron tends to form covalent bonds rather than ionic bonds, so it does not typically exist as a cation or anion in its pure elemental form.


Is boron a cation or a anion?

Boron is an element and is neither an anion or cation. If ionized it would tend to from B3+ and would be thus a cation.

Is Pb a cation or anion?

Pb is the elemental symbol for lead. In this form, lead is neither a cation or an anion - it is neutral. However, lead acts like a metal and when it becomes an ion, it tends to form a cation by giving up electrons and becoming positively charged.
