  2. Ionic potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionic_potential

    Ionic potential is the ratio of the electrical charge (z) to the radius (r) of an ion. [1]= = As such, this ratio is a measure of the charge density at the surface of the ion; usually the denser the charge, the stronger the bond formed by the ion with ions of opposite charge.

  3. Madelung constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madelung_constant

    The proper calculation of electrostatic lattice constants has to consider the crystallographic point groups of ionic lattice sites; for instance, dipole moments may only arise on polar lattice sites, i. e. exhibiting a C 1, C 1h, C n or C nv site symmetry (n = 2, 3, 4 or 6). [11]

  4. Ion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion

    Forming an ionic bond, Li and F become Li + and F − ions. 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 ...

  5. Voltammetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltammetry

    Linear potential sweep Voltammetry is a category of electroanalytical methods used in analytical chemistry and various industrial processes. In voltammetry, information about an analyte is obtained by measuring the current as the potential is varied.

  6. Ionic bonding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionic_bonding

    Ionic bonding is a type of chemical bonding that involves the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions, or between two atoms with sharply different electronegativities, [1] and is the primary interaction occurring in ionic compounds.

  7. Tunnel ionization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunnel_ionization

    In physics, tunnel ionization is a process in which electrons in an atom (or a molecule) tunnel through the potential barrier and escape from the atom (or molecule). In an intense electric field, the potential barrier of an atom (molecule) is distorted drastically. Therefore, as the length of the barrier that electrons have to pass decreases ...

  8. DNA photoionization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_photoionization

    On the one hand, the ionization energy (also called ionization potential, IP), refers to the energy necessary to remove one electron from a molecule; the lowest IP, corresponding to the ejection of a first electron, is the most biologically relevant factor. On the other hand, the photoionization quantum yield Φ, that is the number of electrons ...

  9. Liquid junction potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_junction_potential

    Thus at the point of junction, a potential difference will develop because of the ionic transfer. This potential is called liquid junction potential or diffusion potential which is non-equilibrium potential. The magnitude of the potential depends on the relative speeds of the ions' movement.
