  2. Ionic bonding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionic_bonding

    The charge of the resulting ions is a major factor in the strength of ionic bonding, e.g. a salt C + A − is held together by electrostatic forces roughly four times weaker than C 2+ A 2− according to Coulomb's law, where C and A represent a generic cation and anion respectively. The sizes of the ions and the particular packing of the ...

  3. Stability constants of complexes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stability_constants_of...

    The chelate effect increases as the number of chelate rings increases. For example, the complex [Ni(dien) 2)] 2+ is more stable than the complex [Ni(en) 3)] 2+; both complexes are octahedral with six nitrogen atoms around the nickel ion, but dien (diethylenetriamine, 1,4,7-triazaheptane) is a tridentate ligand and en is bidentate. The number of ...

  4. Salt (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_(chemistry)

    For example, FeSO 4 is named iron(2+) sulfate (with the 2+ charge on the Fe 2+ ions balancing the 2− charge on the sulfate ion), whereas Fe 2 (SO 4) 3 is named iron(3+) sulfate (because the two iron ions in each formula unit each have a charge of 3+, to balance the 2− on each of the three sulfate ions). [108]

  5. Chemical stability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_stability

    In chemistry, chemical stability is the thermodynamic stability of a chemical system, in particular a chemical compound or a polymer. [1] Colloquially, it may instead refer to kinetic persistence , the shelf-life of a metastable substance or system; that is, the timescale over which it begins to degrade.

  6. Chloride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloride

    In water, it dissociates into Na + and Cl − ions. Salts such as calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, potassium chloride have varied uses ranging from medical treatments to cement formation. [4] Calcium chloride (CaCl 2) is a salt that is marketed in pellet form for removing dampness from rooms. Calcium chloride is also used for maintaining ...

  7. Ion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion

    Ions consisting of only a single atom are termed atomic or monatomic ions, while two or more atoms form molecular ions or polyatomic ions. In the case of physical ionization in a fluid (gas or liquid), "ion pairs" are created by spontaneous molecule collisions, where each generated pair consists of a free electron and a positive ion. [ 5 ]

  8. Chloroanion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloroanion

    Some chloroanions are stable in a solution in water, whereas others are decomposed. They may be stable in a molten salt, such as an ionic liquid . [ 4 ] In the solid form some are only stable with large cations, as when there are small cations they may form two separate chloride salt phases.

  9. Metal ions in aqueous solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_ions_in_aqueous_solution

    A metal ion in aqueous solution or aqua ion is a cation, dissolved in water, of chemical formula [M(H 2 O) n] z+.The solvation number, n, determined by a variety of experimental methods is 4 for Li + and Be 2+ and 6 for most elements in periods 3 and 4 of the periodic table.
