  2. Electrostatic induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrostatic_induction

    But when the inducing charge is moved away, the charge is released and spreads throughout the electroscope terminal to the leaves, so the gold leaves move apart again. The sign of the charge left on the electroscope after grounding is always opposite in sign to the external inducing charge. [5] The two rules of induction are: [5] [6]

  3. Inductive effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductive_effect

    Similarly, if an atom has a positive charge and is attached to a +I group its charge becomes 'de-amplified' and the molecule becomes more stable than if the I-effect was not taken into consideration. The explanation for the above is given by the fact that more charge on an atom decreases stability and less charge on an atom increases stability.

  4. Faraday's laws of electrolysis - Wikipedia

    where M is the molar mass of the substance (usually given in SI units of grams per mole) and v is the valency of the ions. For Faraday's first law, M, F, v are constants; thus, the larger the value of Q, the larger m will be.

  5. Electron affinity (data page) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_affinity_(data_page)

    Electron affinity can be defined in two equivalent ways. First, as the energy that is released by adding an electron to an isolated gaseous atom. The second (reverse) definition is that electron affinity is the energy required to remove an electron from a singly charged gaseous negative ion.

  6. Charge number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge_number

    Atomic numbers (Z) are a special case of charge numbers, referring to the charge number of an atomic nucleus, as opposed to the net charge of an atom or ion. The charge numbers for ions (and also subatomic particles ) are written in superscript, e.g., Na + is a sodium ion with charge number positive one (an electric charge of one elementary ...

  7. Electrodialysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrodialysis

    Only an equal number of anion and cation charge equivalents are transferred from the D stream into the C stream and so the charge balance is maintained in each stream. The overall result of the electrodialysis process is an ion concentration increase in the concentrate stream with a depletion of ions in the dilute solution feed stream.

  8. Ion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion

    An ion (/ ˈ aɪ. ɒ n,-ən /) [1] is an atom or molecule with a net electrical charge. The charge of an electron is considered to be negative by convention and this charge is equal and opposite to the charge of a proton, which is considered to be positive by convention. The net charge of an ion is not zero because its total number of electrons ...

  9. Oxyanion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxyanion

    The phosphite ion, PO 3− 3, is a strong base, and so always carries at least one proton. In this case the proton is attached directly to the phosphorus atom with the structure HPO 2− 3. In forming this ion, the phosphite ion is behaving as a Lewis base and donating a pair of electrons to the Lewis acid, H +. Predominance diagram for chromate
