Electrons hold a negative charge, and anion refers to a negatively charged atom.
The answer is anion. Here's a way to help remember:
Cats have paws, and cations are "paws"itive (positive).
For the given molecule, we are asked to give-
- The electron configuration of an isolated B atom
- The electron configuration of an isolated F atom
- Hybrid orbitals should be constructed on the B atom to make the B–F bonds in Boron tri flouride
- valence orbitals, if any, remain unhybridized on the B atom.
- The electron configuration of an isolated B atom:
as atomic number of B is 5
electronic configuration will be [He] 2s² 2p¹
- The electron configuration of an isolated F atom:
as atomic number of F is 9
electronic configuration will be [He] 2s² 2p5
- Hybrid orbitals should be constructed on the B atom to make the B–F bonds in Boron tri flouride will be sp2.
as the one s and two of p orbital from the valance shell will hybridised to make 3 hybrid orbital of B resulting in 3 B-F bonds.
- valence orbitals, if any, remain unhybridized on the B atom will be 1

The metric system is based on powers of 10 so it is much easier to convert units, often just by moving the decimal point.
The number of valence electrons of an element can be determined by the periodic table group (vertical column) in which the element is categorized
