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).
Anions and cations are ions of a single atom of a single element (i.e. Lithium+1, Fluorine-1, etc.). Polyatomic ions are charged particles composed of multiple atoms of different elements (i.e. Nitrate (NO3)-1, Ammonium (NH4)+1, etc.).
Cations are smaller then neutral atoms and anions are larger.
Ions are cations (positive) or anions (negative).
A solubility chart or a table of standard reduction potentials can be used to determine which cations or anions will replace others in a chemical reaction depending on their reactivity and solubility properties.

No. Most polyatomic ions are anions.
There are at least two reasonable answers to this question: anions and cations or monatomic and polyatomic.
Ions can be classified into cations (positively charged ions) and anions (negatively charged ions). Cations are formed when atoms lose electrons, while anions are formed when atoms gain electrons. Additionally, monoatomic ions consist of a single atom carrying a charge, while polyatomic ions consist of multiple atoms bonded together carrying a charge.
Barium is a metal that typically forms a +2 cation (Ba^2+). Monoatomic anions are negatively charged ions formed from a single atom. Barium can form various monoatomic anions, such as oxide (O^2-), chloride (Cl^-), and sulfide (S^2-).
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.
The cations and anions are specific for each salt.
The halides are a family.
The formula for ammonium nitrate is NH4NO3. Both the cations and the anions in this compound are polyatomic.
Yes. Anions are negative ions and cations are positive ions.
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.
