With the knowledge that cesium floride's formula is CsF, wouldn't its cation be Cs+ and its anion F-? If not, tell me the correct cation and anion and why.
Answered by bobpursley
Anion vs. Cation. Ions result from atoms or molecules that have gained or lost one or more valence electrons, giving them a positive or negative charge. Those with a negative charge are called anions and those with a positive charge are called cations.

I looked on another website, and it told me that Cesium flouride's cation is Cs+ and its anion is F-, so I'm pretty confident that I'm right.
