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.
The cation in lithium sulfide is Li+, which is the lithium ion. The anion in lithium sulfide is S2-, which is the sulfide ion.
The cation in a compound containing lithium and sulfur is lithium (Li+). In this compound, lithium acts as the positively charged cation, while sulfur would be the anion with a charge of 2- to balance the compound Li2S.
The individual ions for lithium cyanide are Li+ (lithium cation) and CN- (cyanide anion).
NO, the correct one is : Phosphide is the name of the anion formed when Phosphorus gains 3 electrons.
The formula of lithium oxide is Li2O. In this compound, lithium typically forms a +1 cation and oxygen forms a -2 anion.
The cation in lithium sulfide is Li+, which is the lithium ion. The anion in lithium sulfide is S2-, which is the sulfide ion.
Lithium is a cation because it has a positive charge. It loses one electron to achieve stability and form the Li+ ion.
The cation in a compound containing lithium and sulfur is lithium (Li+). In this compound, lithium acts as the positively charged cation, while sulfur would be the anion with a charge of 2- to balance the compound Li2S.
An example of a binary ionic compound where both the anion and cation have 10 electrons is lithium fluoride (LiF). Lithium is a cation with 3 electrons, and fluoride is an anion with 9 electrons. When lithium loses an electron and fluoride gains an electron, they form LiF with both having 10 electrons in their outer shells.
The individual ions for lithium cyanide are Li+ (lithium cation) and CN- (cyanide anion).
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^+).
Cation because it gives away its valence electrons in order to form an Ionic Compound, ie. LiCl
NO, the correct one is : Phosphide is the name of the anion formed when Phosphorus gains 3 electrons.
LiCH3COO is lithium acetate, which is a salt composed of a lithium cation and an acetate anion. It is commonly used in molecular biology applications for the precipitation of DNA and RNA.
The formula of lithium oxide is Li2O. In this compound, lithium typically forms a +1 cation and oxygen forms a -2 anion.
Li ( lithium) is an ATOM. However, when it ionises (loses) an electron it becomes the Lithium ion (Li^(+)). Positive ions are collectively named as CATIONS. Negative ions are collectively named as ANIONS. NB An atom is an UNcharged species of any element. When it becomes a charged species, then it is an ION. Cation(+) & Anion(-) .
The cation would be C6H5NH3+ and the anion would be C6H5NH-
