I didn't understand your question but here I go...
An ion is an atom that has lost or gained electrons, and now has a positive or negative charge, respectively.
A cation is an ion with a positive charge. An atom that lost electrons and now has less electrons than protons.
AND
An anion is an ion with a negative charge. An atom that gained electrons and now has more electrons than protons.

Which tool would be used to find information on which cations or anions will replace other cations or anions in a chemical reaction?
A displacement table would be used to find information on which cations or anions will replace other cations or anions in a chemical reaction.
Which tool would be used to find information on which cations or anions will replace othe cations or anions in a chemical reaction?
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.
What are the ions on the periodic table?
cations and anions
Do alkali metals generally make anions or cations?
Cations.
What conclusions can we make about the size of cations neutral atoms and anions?
Cations are smaller then neutral atoms and anions are larger.

What are the ions on the periodic table?
cations and anions
A anions and xenons b anions and cations c cations and xenons d xenons and anions Which of these are ions?
The ions are b, anions and cations. Note that xenon is not an ion, it is a noble gas.
Do anions and cations share electrons during ionic bonding?
Yes anions and cations share electrons. Anions gain electrons and cations loose electrons.
Are anions and cations ion?
Yes. Anions are negative ions and cations are positive ions.
Will polonium make cations or anions?
cations
Do alkali metals generally make anions or cations?
Cations.
How do you tell apart cations and anions?
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
What is the general word for both cations and anions?
The term "ion" can be used to refer to both anions and cations.
Which group in the periodic table will form cations with a 3 positive charge?
a group that forms anions with a -1 charge
What conclusions can we make about the size of cations neutral atoms and anions?
Cations are smaller then neutral atoms and anions are larger.
