ionic ratio

The electrostatic field of an ion is nondirectional.Each positive ion attracts several negative ions around it depending upon its size or radius and vice-versa ,resulting in a three dimensional solid aggregate called an ionic crystal in which oppositely charged ions alternate in regular,..

Radius Ratio Rules - For the stability of an ionic compound, each cation should be surrounded by maximum number of anions and vice versa. The number of oppositely charged ions surrounding each ion is called its co-ordination number. The larger is the size of the cation the great..

(ionic bond is an extreme case of polar covalent bonds). The greater the difference in electronegativities of the bonded atoms, the higher is the ionic character. When the electronegativity difference between two atoms is 1.7, then the bond is 50% ionic and 50% covalen..

Empirical formula is defined as the simplest formula of the substance, which gives the relative number of atoms of each element present in the molecule of that substance. Substances which have no discrete molecules such as ionic and network covalent compounds are described by this empiri..

A basic buffer contains a weak base (BOH), and its salt with strong acid (BX). The buffer solution thus contains large amounts of the weak base BOH, and the cation B + (coming from the dissociation of the salt BX), in addition to H 3 O + and OH - . The addition of an acid or a base to the basic ..

All living and non-living systems are composed of molecules which follow a specific set of physical laws. The molecules found in the living systems are called biomolecules. They are represented by the molecules of about 25 elements of the 109 elements known to exist. Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxyge..
