A cation is a positive ion (as Na+).
An anion is a negative ion (as Cl-).
A cation and an anion
The cation would be C6H5NH3+ and the anion would be C6H5NH-
An anion has gained electrons and therefore has a negative charge, while a cation has lost electrons and therefore has a positive charge.
The cation of potassium cyanide is potassium (K+) and the anion is cyanide (CN-).

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.
Yes, a covalent bond can form between an anion and a cation when they share electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. This type of bond is known as an ionic-covalent bond or coordinate covalent bond.
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.
