In the compound Mn₃(PO₄)₄, the manganese (Mn) ions act as cations, specifically in a +3 oxidation state, while the phosphate (PO₄) groups act as anions. Each phosphate group carries a -3 charge, and there are four phosphate groups in the compound, balancing the positive charges from the three manganese cations. Thus, Mn³⁺ is the cation and PO₄³⁻ is the anion in Mn₃(PO₄)₄.
