What CO3 2- CN- SO4 2- NO- ions is not an oxyanion?
The cyanide ion, CN-1, is not an oxyanion: As its formula shows, it does not contain any oxygen!
Is phosphate a sulfate?
No. Phosphates and sulfates are two different things. Phosphate, PO4^3- is an oxyanion of phosphorus while sulfate SO4^2- is an oxyanion of sulfur.

What is an ionic compound consisting of a cation with 10 electrons and an oxyanion with 26 electrons?
The cation would be either sodium, magnesium or aluminium. The only oxyanion with 26 electrons is the hypochlorite ion. So the compound is sodium/magnesium/aluminium hypochlorite.

Is an oxyanion named based on the amount of a metal in the ion?
No, the name of an oxyanion is not based on the amount of a metal in the ion. The name of an oxyanion is determined by the oxidation state of the element and the number of oxygen atoms in the ion. The metal in the ion may play a role in determining the charge or oxidation state of the element, but it does not directly determine the name of the oxyanion.
