Cation: an atom who lost electrons.
Anion: an atom who gain electrons.
Monoatomic ion: ion formed from one element, as chloride Cl-.
Polyatomic ion: ion formed from two or more elements, as (SO4)2-.
Sodium sulfate is an ionic compound, composed of monatomic and monovalent sodium cations and polyatomic and divalent sulfate anions. The anions are internally covalently bonded, but are not compounds because they are not electrically neutral.
The formula for ammonium nitrate is NH4NO3. Both the cations and the anions in this compound are polyatomic.
The ions are b, anions and cations. Note that xenon is not an ion, it is a noble gas.
Yes, anions have a larger radius compared to cations.
Aluminum sulfite is an ionic compound. Aluminum is a metal that tends to lose electrons to form cations, while sulfite is a polyatomic ion composed of sulfur and oxygen that tends to gain electrons to form anions. When aluminum cations combine with sulfite anions, they form an ionic bond.
There are at least two reasonable answers to this question: anions and cations or monatomic and polyatomic.
No. Most polyatomic ions are anions.
No; lithium forms monatomic cations with formula Li+1.
Cations are positive ions (Fe2+, NH4+).Anions are negative ions (Cl-, (SO4)2-).Fe2+ is a monoatomic ion and (NH4)+ is a polyatomic Ion (contain more than one element).
Cations are always positive, whatever they're of. Ooh, or is that anions? Yeah, on second thoughts I think cations are negative. Hang on a minute, I'll check......nope, I was right first time. Cations are positive.
Anions end in -ide if they are monatomic. Example: chlorine becomes "chloride." Polyatomic ions will have different suffixes.

A polyatomic ion is one that contains more than one atom. Many common anions are polyatomic, e.g. NO3-, SO42-, CO32-, PO43- Cations may be polyatomic, e.g NH4+, Hg22+

Potassium sulfate contains both covalent and ionic bonding. Potassium cations are bonded ionically to the polyatomic sulfate anions, and these anions are internally bonded covalently.
