Bromine is a diatomic molecule and not an ion. It exists as a neutral element in its standard state.
Aluminium cation is 3+; bromide anion is Br-. The aluminium bromide is AlBr3.
Sulfur tribromide is a neutral molecule, not an anion or cation. It is composed of one sulfur atom and three bromine atoms held together by covalent bonds.
The cation would be C6H5NH3+ and the anion would be C6H5NH-
The cation of potassium cyanide is potassium (K+) and the anion is cyanide (CN-).
Can an ionic compound ever consist of a cation-cation or anion- anion bond? Explain.
Br is an anion. It is called bromide and is the ion form of the element bromine.
Aluminium cation is 3+; bromide anion is Br-. The aluminium bromide is AlBr3.
anion. bromine is a non metal which gains an electron making it negative.
Sulfur tribromide is a neutral molecule, not an anion or cation. It is composed of one sulfur atom and three bromine atoms held together by covalent bonds.
Normally, bromine forms an anion, because it gains one electron to have a full octet, and is then negative. (Br1-) However, bromine can from a cation, as is the case when using N-bromosuccinimide (Br+ is given off).
The cation would be C6H5NH3+ and the anion would be C6H5NH-
The cation of potassium cyanide is potassium (K+) and the anion is cyanide (CN-).

Can an ionic compound ever consist of a cation-cation or anion- anion bond? Explain.
Oxygen is neither a cation nor an anion. It is a neutral element.
CR is a cation.
