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.
No. Lithium is an element. It forms cations.
Cation
is scandium a cation or an anion
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.
The cation is KCN+ and the anion is KC2N-
A cation
Lithium form the cation Li2+.
Elemental lithium (Li) is neither a cation nor an anion. But when Li loses it's one valence electron, it will become a CATION (Li^+).
Lithium. Lithium and hydrogen combine to make lithium hydride, an ionic compound, in which lithium is the cation (positive) and hydrogen is the anion (negative). The cation is always first in the chemical formula for an ionic compound.
Cation because it gives away its valence electrons in order to form an Ionic Compound, ie. LiCl
is scandium a cation or an anion
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.
The cation is KCN+ and the anion is KC2N-
an ion is divided into cation and an anion . cation has a positive sign whereas anion a negative.
The cation of lithium is Li+.
anion
Anion
