K+ the potassium ion - is a CATION
The cation of potassium cyanide is potassium (K+) and the anion is cyanide (CN-).
Potassium bromide, KBr: K+ - cation, Br- - anion
The cation of K2CO3 is potassium (K+) and the anion is carbonate (CO3^2-).
Potassium nitrate has 1 cation: K+ The other part (nitrate) is an anion: NO3-
An atom of potassium is most likely to become a cation. Potassium tends to lose one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration, forming a positively charged ion.
The cation of potassium cyanide is potassium (K+) and the anion is cyanide (CN-).
Potassium bromide, KBr: K+ - cation, Br- - anion
Strictly speaking, Potassium (K) itself is neither a cation or anion. But the Potassium ion (K+) is a cation, because cations are positive.

No, it is a cation (positively charged).
The cation of K2CO3 is potassium (K+) and the anion is carbonate (CO3^2-).

Major Intracellular cation - K+ (Potassium) Major Extracellular cation - Na+ (Sodium) Major Intracellular anion - PO4+ (Phosphate) Major Extracellular anion - Cl- (Chloride)
An atom of potassium is most likely to become a cation. Potassium tends to lose one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration, forming a positively charged ion.
The cation is K+ and the anion is I-.
Potassium will most likely form a cation with a +1 charge.
KCl: Both the potassium cation and the chloride anion are monovalent; therefore only one of each ion is required in the formula unit.
