Hydrogen can be either a cation or an anion, depending on the chemical reaction it is involved in.
Hydrogen can be either an anion or a cation, depending on the chemical reaction it is involved in.
If it has a positive charge it is a Cation. If it has a negative charge it is an Anion.
A salt is a compound formed when the hydrogen in an acid is replaced by a metal or another positive ion. It typically consists of a metal cation and a non-metal anion bonded together through ionic bonding. An example is sodium chloride (table salt), which is formed from sodium cations and chloride anions.
An atom with extra (a higher number than that of its protons) electrons is an anion. An atom with a lower count than its protons is a cation. They are often reffered to as positive (cation) or negative (anion) Ions. An Ion is defined as a charged particle.
Hydrogen has 1 valence electron. Bromine has 7 valence electrons. When hydrogen and bromine react, the bromine atom 'steals' the hydrogen atom's only electron. The hydrogen atom then has no electrons and the bromine atom has 8 valence electrons. The two atoms are now ions because their number of protons does not equal their number of electrons. The bromine atom is now a bromide anion and the hydrogen atom is now a hydrogen cation (a proton). The two ions remain together, ionicly bonded and together are called hydrogen bromide.

Potassium hydrogen phthalatepotassium cation (K+) and hydrogen phthalate anion (HP- or Hphthalate-)
Well, honey, hydrogen can be a cation or an anion depending on the situation. In its normal state, it's a cation with a positive charge, but it can also act as an anion by gaining an extra electron. So, to answer your question, it can be both - just like how I can be sweet as pie or sassy as all get out, depending on the day!
The cation would be C6H5NH3+ and the anion would be C6H5NH-
HNO3 is a compound made up of ions. It contains a nitrate anion (NO3-) and a hydrogen cation (H+).
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.
The formula for silver hydrogen carbonate is AgHCO₃. It is formed by combining silver cation (Ag⁺) and hydrogen carbonate anion (HCO₃⁻).
