neither. it is a compound
Neither. Silica is a covalent compound, not an ion.Silicate is an anion.
An ionic compound contain a cation and an anion.
an ion is divided into cation and an anion . cation has a positive sign whereas anion a negative.
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.
Can an ionic compound ever consist of a cation-cation or anion- anion bond? Explain.

K+ cation and Cl- anion
formula of compound- HF cation H+1 anion F_1
symbol of cation = K+ symbol of anion = CL-
Typically in writing an ionic compound, the cation is written first, then the anion.
The cation. MgO, for instance.
PbCN2. The lead(2+) cation and the cyanamide NCN(2-) anion.
Ammonium sulfate is an ionic compound. The formula itself names an anion and a cation.
