Its a metalloid. So don't expect cations! It forms many compounds where it has an oxidation number of +3, and lower number with +5. It forms arsenides, some of which are ionic and contain the As3- anion. Some arsenides are more covalent such as indium arsenide.
anion
An arsenide ion is larger than a bromide ion, but a bromide ion is larger than an arsenic ion. Recall that arsenic can have several oxidation states. It can be a cation or an anion.
Anion is a negative ion (Cl-) and cation is a positive ion (Na+).
AgNO3 consists of the cation Ag+ and the anion NO3-. Ag+ is the silver cation, while NO3- is the nitrate anion.
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.
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.
CR is a cation.
Anion is a negative ion (Cl-) and cation is a positive ion (Na+).
Hydrogen can be either a cation or an anion, depending on the chemical reaction it is involved in.
