Germanium itself is not inherently a cation or anion; it is a neutral element with the atomic number 32. It can form cations by losing electrons, typically in compounds when it has a +2 or +4 oxidation state. Conversely, it can also form anions in specific contexts, but this is less common. Thus, whether germanium is a cation or anion depends on its chemical environment and bonding.
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.
