Ag+ cation
Lithium form the cation Li2+.
Tin on its own is a neutral atom but will form cations since it is a metal.
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.
an ion is divided into cation and an anion . cation has a positive sign whereas anion a negative.
anion
Ag+ cation
Lithium form the cation Li2+.
when forces of attraction overcome forces of repulsion
is scandium a cation or an anion
Can an ionic compound ever consist of a cation-cation or anion- anion bond? Explain.

Xenon is a bob,e gas, which means that it can't form any cation or anion by itself. If it joins any other element, then it can form an ion.
Tin itself is a neutral element and therefore neither a cation nor an anion. A single tin atom can form a cation by donating two or four of its electrons to more electronegative atoms. A single tin atom is not electronegative enough to form an anion, but together with oxygen atoms, a tin atom can form a polyatomic anion.
francium can form monovalent cations.
i don't know go back to school:) it's a cation!
Potassium will most likely form a cation with a +1 charge.
