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.
A phosphorus ion is an anion, or a negatively charged ion.
Polonium is an amphoteric chemical element,
.Will phosphorous, element 15, tend to form an anion or a cation?
Phosphorus for anions.
Pb(2+) is the cation and (SO4)2- is the anion.
an ion is divided into cation and an anion . cation has a positive sign whereas anion a negative.
anion
Anion is a negative ion (Cl-) and cation is a positive ion (Na+).
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.
Pb(2+) is the cation and (SO4)2- is the anion.
is scandium a cation or an anion
Can an ionic compound ever consist of a cation-cation or anion- anion bond? Explain.
Can an ionic compound ever consist of a cation-cation or anion- anion bond? Explain.
The cation is KCN+ and the anion is KC2N-
an ion is divided into cation and an anion . cation has a positive sign whereas anion a negative.

A cation
polyatomic anion
No. It is an ionic compound composed of the lead IV cation (Pb4+) and the chromate anion (CrO4)2-.Pb4+ + 2(CrO4)2- --> Pb(CrO4)2
