Is lithium cation or anion?
Lithium form the cation Li2+.
Which comes first in a chemical formula lithium or hydrogen?
Lithium. Lithium and hydrogen combine to make lithium hydride, an ionic compound, in which lithium is the cation (positive) and hydrogen is the anion (negative). The cation is always first in the chemical formula for an ionic compound.
Is an ion a cation or anion?
an ion is divided into cation and an anion . cation has a positive sign whereas anion a negative.

What is lithium cation or anion?
Lithium is cation, because it is positivelycharged. Whenever a single element is positive , like calcium, it will be cation.While oxygen, which is negatively charged, will be anion.
Does lithium form cations?
Elemental lithium (Li) is neither a cation nor an anion. But when Li loses it's one valence electron, it will become a CATION (Li^+).
Which comes first in a chemical formula lithium or hydrogen?
