Carbonium is synonym to carbocation = carbon atom in a compound that has lost a single electron and therefore bears a positive charge (+1).
Carbanion in the other hand is a carbon atom in a compound that has gained an electron and therefore bears a negative charge (-1)

What is the Difference between enolate ion and carbanion?
enolate ion is CH2--CH=O or CH2=CH-O- it is resonance hybrid of two resonating structures , i.e charge continuously shifted on carbon and oxygen atom, while carbanion means a localized charge on carbon only.
What is the difference between ammonia gas and ammonia ion?
What is the difference between ammonia gas and an ammonium ion?
Is carbons anion bigger than fluorine?
The carbon anion, or carbanion, has a lone pair of unbound electrons that give the carbon ion a negative charge....thus being an anion. Being that electrons do not add to the molecular weight of the ion, carbanion would still have a molecular weight of 12 and fluorine of 19. This is assuming that you are referring to the normal isotopes of carbon and fluorine.
What is the difference between a proton and a hydrogen ion?
an electron
What is the difference between the nitrate ion and the nitride ion?
Nitrate ion is NO3-1 while Nitride is N-3.
What is the difference between carbocation carbonium ion and carbenium ion?
Carbonium is synonym to carbocation = carbon atom in a compound that has lost a single electron and therefore bears a positive charge (+1). Carbanion in the other hand is a carbon atom in a compound that has gained an electron and therefore bears a negative charge (-1)

Which is reaction involves a carbonium ion intermediate?
Carbonium ions can be formed during petroleum cracking.
What determines a compounds reactivity in an SN2 reaction?
Stearic hindrance and stability of carbonium ion, less stearic hindrance and less stability of carbonium ion favors the SN2 reaction.
