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.
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.
The name of the cation followed by the name of the anion. If the cation is a single atomic cation, its name is the same as the name of the element (followed by the oxidation state number of the metal in the cation in Roman numbers within parentheses, if the cation is formed from an element that has two distinct stable oxidation states). If the anion is a single atom anion, its name is made from the element name by changing the ending "-ine", if present in the element name, to "-ide" or otherwise modifying the element name to end in "-ide" (e.g., carbide, nitride, oxide, sulfide, etc.). Polyatomic cations and anions have individual names.
The element, Argon is neither a cation nor an anion. It is one of the Noble gases.

Fluorine is an element. Fluoride is an anion.
Cesium is an element that forms a cation.
The element, Argon is neither a cation nor an anion. It is one of the Noble gases.
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.

neither. it is a compound
Tin itself is a neutral element and therefore neither a cation nor an anion. A single tin atom can form a cation by donating two or four of its electrons to more electronegative atoms. A single tin atom is not electronegative enough to form an anion, but together with oxygen atoms, a tin atom can form a polyatomic anion.
