Boron does not form cations or anions in compounds. Borides which could be thought to contain anions are covalent. There are no simple B3+ compounds. The ionization ebnery is very high and the polarising effect of B3+ would be extreme leading to covalency.

Is boron a cation or an anion?

Boron is a metalloid element with the symbol B. In chemical compounds, boron tends to form covalent bonds rather than ionic bonds, so it does not typically exist as a cation or anion in its pure elemental form.


Is boron an cation or anion?

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.

Is Pb a cation or anion?

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.
