If it's an ion with a negative charge, it is an anion.
Cations are always positive, whatever they're of. Ooh, or is that anions? Yeah, on second thoughts I think cations are negative. Hang on a minute, I'll check......nope, I was right first time. Cations are positive.

All of the metals form monoatomic cations (have only one atom) examples are potassium, K+; Iron, Fe2+,Fe3+ Polyatomic metal cations are rare Hg22- is probably the most likely one to be encountered
These are the elements that are NATURALLY monatomic: Helium Neon Argon Krypton Xenon Radon
Cations -- which are positive ions -- and anions, which are negative ions.
No; lithium forms monatomic cations with formula Li+1.
Cations are always positive, whatever they're of. Ooh, or is that anions? Yeah, on second thoughts I think cations are negative. Hang on a minute, I'll check......nope, I was right first time. Cations are positive.
There are at least two reasonable answers to this question: anions and cations or monatomic and polyatomic.

'Monatomic' means having or consisting of single atoms.
No. Like other metals potassium forms a monatomic cation.
No, borax is not monatomic. It is a compound made up of boron, oxygen, and sodium ions.
A monatomic ion is an ion consisting of a single atom with a positive or negative charge. The oxidation number of a monatomic ion is equal to the charge of the ion.
Cation: an atom who lost electrons.Anion: an atom who gain electrons.Monoatomic ion: ion formed from one element, as chloride Cl-.Polyatomic ion: ion formed from two or more elements, as (SO4)2-.
