Here's why:

* Cation: A positively charged ion.

* Anion: A negatively charged ion.

* Silver nitrate (AgNO₃): A compound composed of silver (Ag), nitrogen (N), and oxygen (O).

In this compound, silver has a +1 charge (Ag⁺) and the nitrate group (NO₃) has a -1 charge (NO₃⁻). The charges balance out to form a neutral compound.
