Neither, heluim is inert, one of the noble gases.
Cesium is a cation, meaning it is a positively charged ion. It forms the Cs+ cation when it loses an electron.
Chloride is an anion. It carries a negative charge due to the gain of an electron.
The cation for sodium fluoride is Na+ (sodium ion).
Cesium is a cation, as it has a positive charge due to losing an electron.
Al2O3 - aluminum oxide (dialuminium trioxide); this oxide is not a cation or anion but a chemical molecular substance.

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.
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.
Hydrogen can be either an anion or a cation, depending on the chemical reaction it is involved in.
Potassium bromide, KBr: K+ - cation, Br- - anion
AgNO3 consists of the cation Ag+ and the anion NO3-. Ag+ is the silver cation, while NO3- is the nitrate anion.
