Pb is the elemental symbol for lead. In this form, lead is neither a cation or an anion - it is neutral. However, lead acts like a metal and when it becomes an ion, it tends to form a cation by giving up electrons and becoming positively charged.
Pb(2+) is the cation and (SO4)2- is the anion.
anion
AgNO3 consists of the cation Ag+ and the anion NO3-. Ag+ is the silver cation, while NO3- is the nitrate anion.
Anion is a negative ion (Cl-) and cation is a positive ion (Na+).
Boron is an element and is neither an anion or cation. If ionized it would tend to from B3+ and would be thus a cation.
Pb(2+) is the cation and (SO4)2- is the anion.
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.
Oxygen is neither a cation nor an anion. It is a neutral element.
Pb(NO3)2 is an ionic compound. The lead (Pb) cation and nitrate (NO3) anion are held together by ionic bonds, formed by the transfer of electrons from lead to nitrate.
CR is a cation.
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.
Anion is a negative ion (Cl-) and cation is a positive ion (Na+).
