Simple metal cations take the name of the metal. Where there are more than one type of ion as is the case with iron, the lower charged ion ends in -ous and the higher charged in -ic. This convention is old, and doesn't cope with elements with more than two cations, but is in general use.
Simple anions are the "root" of the element name ending in -ide.
Examples of cationsK+, potassium, Na+ sodium, Mg2+ magnesiumFe2+ ferrous Fe3+ ferric
Hg2+ mercuric, Hg22+, mercurous
Examples of anionsCl- chloride, Br- bromideO2- oxide, S2- sulfide
N3-, nitride
Cations are positively charged. Anions are negatively charged. Cations are smaller than the nucleus from which they are formed, and Anions are bigger than the nucleus from which they are formed.
A displacement table would be used to find information on which cations or anions will replace other cations or anions in a chemical reaction.

Cations are smaller then neutral atoms and anions are larger.

A tool that would be used to find information on which cations or anions will replace others in a chemical reaction is a displacement table.
The ions are b, anions and cations. Note that xenon is not an ion, it is a noble gas.
Yes anions and cations share electrons. Anions gain electrons and cations loose electrons.
Yes. Anions are negative ions and cations are positive ions.

cations, positively charged ions, can be told from anions, negatively charged ions, bysize--cations are smaller then the average atomic mass of the element --anions are largertype--cations are made from metals --anions are non-metalsorder--cations are always listed first in a chemical equation
The term "ion" can be used to refer to both anions and cations.
Cations are smaller then neutral atoms and anions are larger.
No, cations have a positive charge and have lost electrons. Anions have a negative charge and have gained electrons. In an ionic compound anions and cations attract each other due to opposite charges.
anions oxides are O2-
Cations are attracted to anions.
