Phosphate is a triply charged polyatomic anion.
Na3 3+, PO4 3-. Na is actually +, so Na3 is 3+.
NH4 is called ammonium phosphate because it consists of the ammonium cation (NH4+) and the phosphate anion (PO4^3-). The compound is formed by the combination of these two ions, resulting in a salt known as ammonium phosphate.
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).
The PO4^3- ion is a polyatomic anion. It consists of a group of atoms with an overall negative charge.
The ionic compound for K3PO4 is potassium phosphate. It is formed by the combination of the potassium cation (K+) and the phosphate anion (PO4^3-).
The cation would be C6H5NH3+ and the anion would be C6H5NH-
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.
According to Wikipedia, Ca(H2PO4)2: Calcium forms a divalent cation, and the polyatomic anion dihydrogen* phosphate has only a single negative valency.
Oxygen is neither a cation nor an anion. It is a neutral element.
CR is a cation.
Major Intracellular cation - K+ (Potassium) Major Extracellular cation - Na+ (Sodium) Major Intracellular anion - PO4+ (Phosphate) Major Extracellular anion - Cl- (Chloride)
Anion is a negative ion (Cl-) and cation is a positive ion (Na+).
