List the cations and anions in the following:
a. licl
b. caso4

Li⁺ and Cl⁻Ca²⁺ and SO₄²⁻Explanation:LiCl is lithium chloride. It is a salt and a typical ionic compound formed through ionic bond. On ionization it gives Li⁺ and Cl⁻ in which Li⁺ is cation and Cl⁻ is anion. Lithium chloride is used in production of lithium. CaSO₄ is a the inorganic compound. It is used in the plaster of Paris. It naturally occurs as gypsum. It has many uses in industry. On ionization it gives Ca²⁺ and SO₄²⁻ in which Ca²⁺ is cation and SO₄²⁻ is anion.

Result: Cations are Li⁺ and Ca²⁺. Anions are Cl⁻ and SO₄²⁻.
