Gold is cation since when its electrons are removed from its valence shell, it becomes positive. It is easier for gold to be stripped of its electrons to follow the octet rule therefore it is a cation.
The cation would be C6H5NH3+ and the anion would be C6H5NH-
The cation of potassium cyanide is potassium (K+) and the anion is cyanide (CN-).
The symbol of the cation AuCl3 is [AuCl4]−, as gold(III) chloride typically exists as the complex anion [AuCl4]− with a +3 charge on the gold atom.
Can an ionic compound ever consist of a cation-cation or anion- anion bond? Explain.
Oxygen is neither a cation nor an anion. It is a neutral element.

CR is a cation.
Anion is a negative ion (Cl-) and cation is a positive ion (Na+).
Hydrogen can be either a cation or an anion, depending on the chemical reaction it is involved in.

Potassium bromide, KBr: K+ - cation, Br- - anion
