Tin itself is a neutral element and therefore neither a cation nor an anion. A single tin atom can form a cation by donating two or four of its electrons to more electronegative atoms. A single tin atom is not electronegative enough to form an anion, but together with oxygen atoms, a tin atom can form a polyatomic anion.
Cesium is a cation, meaning it is a positively charged ion. It forms the Cs+ cation when it loses an electron.
Chloride is an anion. It carries a negative charge due to the gain of an electron.
The cation for sodium fluoride is Na+ (sodium ion).
Cesium is a cation, as it has a positive charge due to losing an electron.
Aluminum oxide is composed of an aluminum cation (Al^3+) and an oxide anion (O^2-). The chemical formula for aluminum oxide is Al2O3.
Tin can be either an anion or a cation depending on the compound it forms. Tin can exhibit a valence of +2 or +4, making it capable of forming both tin (II) cations (Sn2+) and tin (IV) cations (Sn4+).
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-).

The formula for titanium(III) nitride is TiN. It consists of one titanium cation (Ti3+) and one nitride anion (N3-).
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.
As Chlorine it is an ATOM. However, if it gains an electron to becomes Cl^(-) (Chloride) then it is an ANION.
CR is a cation.
When lead (IV) sulfate reacts with tin (II) chlorate, the lead (IV) cation (Pb^4+) will combine with the chlorate anion (ClO3^-) to form lead (IV) chlorate, Pb(ClO3)4. The tin (II) cation (Sn^2+) will combine with the sulfate anion (SO4^2-) to form tin (II) sulfate, SnSO4.
Tin(IV) oxide is primarily considered an ionic compound, as it is composed of a metal cation (tin) and a non-metal anion (oxygen) that form an ionic bond.
