A cation is typically formed from a metal atom by losing one or more electrons, so it is generally associated with metals. Metals tend to easily lose electrons, forming positive ions (cations).
A metal oxide reacting with a nonmetal oxide typically results in the formation of a salt. This reaction can be classified as a synthesis or combination reaction, where the metal cation from the metal oxide combines with the nonmetal anion from the nonmetal oxide to form a salt.
The reaction represented is a double displacement reaction, where the metal oxide and nonmetal oxide react to form a ternary salt. In this reaction, the metal from the metal oxide replaces the cation in the nonmetal oxide to form the salt.
When a metal meets a nonmetal, the nonmetal atom tends to gain electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, forming an anion (negatively charged ion) due to the addition of extra electrons. This creates an ionic bond between the metal cation and the nonmetal anion.
Reaction between a metal oxide and a nonmetal oxide to produce a salt containing at least three elements is a synthesis reaction. The salt almost always contains at least one monatomic metal cation and at least one polyatomic anion that contains all of the elements of the reacted nonmetal oxide plus the oxygen atoms from the metal oxide. This type of anion is called an "oxyanion" or the "anion of an oxyacid."
Yes, ionic compounds are typically made of a metal cation (positively charged ion) and a nonmetal anion (negatively charged ion). This combination allows the transfer of electrons from the metal to the nonmetal, resulting in the formation of an ionic bond.
Salts contain a cation (metal or ammonium) and an anion (a nonmetal etc.).
a metal cation and a nonmetal anion
When you mix a metal cation with a nonmetal anion, they will form an ionic compound through ionic bonding. The metal cation will donate electrons to the nonmetal anion, resulting in the formation of a stable compound with a neutral charge. This compound will have a crystal lattice structure and exhibit properties different from those of the individual elements.
A metal oxide reacting with a nonmetal oxide typically results in the formation of a salt. This reaction can be classified as a synthesis or combination reaction, where the metal cation from the metal oxide combines with the nonmetal anion from the nonmetal oxide to form a salt.
Negative ions can be formed from both metals and nonmetals. When a metal loses electrons, it becomes a positively charged cation, while when a nonmetal gains electrons, it becomes a negatively charged anion.

NaCl Sodium chloride, common table salt. A metal nonmetal bond and the (metal) cation, Na +, has donated an electron to the (nonmetal) anion, Cl -.
No, the metal is named first in binary ionic compounds. The name of the metal cation is followed by the name of the nonmetal anion, with the nonmetal's name ending in "-ide". For example, NaCl is named sodium chloride.
Ammonium acetate is a compound that consists of the cation ammonium (NH4+) and the anion acetate (CH3COO-). It is not a metal or nonmetal itself, but it is made up of both a metal (ammonium, which includes a positively charged nitrogen atom) and a nonmetal (acetate, which includes carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms).
