Cations are ions that are positively charged. Anions are ions that are negatively charged. Ions are charged atoms or molecules. If a balanced atom loses one or more electrons, it will become a ...

Cations can be identified with flame tests or precipitate tests using sodium hydroxide and ammonia solutions. Anions (halide, sulfate, and carbonate ions) can be identified using precipitate tests or ...

A cation refers to an atom or a group of atoms that bear one or multiple positive electric charges. An anion refers to an atom or a group of atoms that bear one or multiple negative electric charges.

The anion gap blood test measures the acid-base and electrolyte balance in the blood. Results can show whether there is an imbalance in a person’s pH levels, which may be making the blood too acidic ...

Chemists have found that the all-cis isomer of hexafluorocyclohexane, a molecule that made headlines last year for being the most polar aliphatic compound known, is capable of binding both cations and ...

What Is an Anion Gap? The anion gap test measures anion gap (sometimes called serum anion gap) or how much acid is in your blood. Acid levels that are higher or lower than normal can tip your doctor ...

Charged particles in aqueous solutions are always surrounded by a shell of water molecules. However, much is still unknown about the nature of this so-called hydration shell. Using terahertz ...

Martin J. Christ, Charles T. Driscoll and Gene E. Likens Biogeochemistry publishes original papers and occasional reviews dealing with biotic controls on the chemistry of the environment, or with the ...

A unique phenomenon of mitochondria-targeted protonophores is described. lt consists in a transmembrane H⁺-conducting fatty acid cycling mediated by penetrating cations such as 10-(6'-plastoquinonyl) ...
