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.

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 ...

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 ...

Dual-ion batteries (DIBs), in which both cations and anions are involved in the electrochemical redox reaction, are one of the most promising candidates to meet the low-cost requirements of commercial ...

From the burning of wood to the action of medicines, the properties and behavior of matter are governed by the way chemical ...
