Simple metal cations take the name of the metal. Where there are more than one type of ion as is the case with iron, the lower charged ion ends in -ous and the higher charged in -ic. This convention is old, and doesn't cope with elements with more than two cations, but is in general use.
Simple anions are the "root" of the element name ending in -ide.
Examples of cationsK+, potassium, Na+ sodium, Mg2+ magnesiumFe2+ ferrous Fe3+ ferric
Hg2+ mercuric, Hg22+, mercurous
Examples of anionsCl- chloride, Br- bromideO2- oxide, S2- sulfide
N3-, nitride
Cations are smaller then neutral atoms and anions are larger.
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.

A tool that would be used to find information on which cations or anions will replace others in a chemical reaction is a displacement table.
In a neutral compound, the sum of charges of all cations and anions will be zero. This is because cations have a positive charge and anions have a negative charge, and in a neutral compound, these charges will balance out.
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.
No, anions and cations do not share electrons during ionic bonding. In ionic bonding, cations lose electrons to anions, resulting in the formation of an ionic bond based on electrostatic attraction between the positively and negatively charged ions.
The term "ion" can be used to refer to both anions and cations.
Cations are smaller then neutral atoms and anions are larger.
In general, cations are smaller than anions in terms of size.
No, cations have a positive charge and have lost electrons. Anions have a negative charge and have gained electrons. In an ionic compound anions and cations attract each other due to opposite charges.
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.
Cations and anions compse ionic chemical compounds.
