Yes, the ion bromide (Br-) is an anion.
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 in KBr is K+ (potassium ion) and the anion is Br- (bromide ion).
The cation for aluminum is Al3+, while the cation for bromine is Br-.
The formula of the anion in sodium bromide is Br^-. Sodium bromide is composed of the sodium cation (Na^+) and the bromide anion (Br^-), which combine in a 1:1 ratio to form the compound NaBr.
Cs and Br form an ionic bond in CsBr compound. Cesium (Cs) is a metal that loses an electron to become a cation, while bromine (Br) is a nonmetal that gains an electron to become an anion. The electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions leads to the formation of an ionic bond.
The cation would be C6H5NH3+ and the anion would be C6H5NH-
Bromine typically forms an anion (Br-) by gaining one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration.
Can an ionic compound ever consist of a cation-cation or anion- anion bond? Explain.
Yes, the ion bromide (Br-) is an anion.
The cation of potassium cyanide is potassium (K+) and the anion is cyanide (CN-).
