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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Anion exchange membrane fuel cells (AEMFCs) have gained attention in the process of fuel cell development because they operate in alkaline environments, the redox reaction rate at the electrodes is ...

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) ...
