In this video, Fran Scott demonstrates how to test for various ions and interpret the results. Flame tests and chemical tests are used to detect and identify ions in samples. Instrumental methods of ...

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 ...

New study finds that the introduction of chloride ions and cations leads to a charge-by-charge arrangement, where the cations act as separators, preventing self-association of the dipyrrolyldiketone ...

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 ...

Chemists have created a symmetrical, five-sided macrocycle that is easy to synthesize and has characteristics that may help expand the molecular tool box available to researchers in biology, chemistry ...
