NiCl2 is a chemical compound composed of nickel (Ni) and chloride (Cl) ions. In this compound, nickel exists in a +2 oxidation state, making it a cation (Ni²⁺), while each chloride ion (Cl) carries a -1 charge, resulting in two chloride anions (2 Cl⁻) to balance the charge. Thus, NiCl2 consists of one Ni²⁺ cation and two Cl⁻ anions.
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-).
