  2. Ionic bonding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionic_bonding

    The same occurs when the compounds are heated above their melting point in a process known as melting. Formation Ionic bonding can result from a redox reaction when atoms of an element (usually metal ), whose ionization energy is low, give some of their electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.

  3. Salt (chemistry) - Wikipedia

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

    In some reactions between highly reactive metals (usually from Group 1 or Group 2) and highly electronegative halogen gases, or water, the atoms can be ionized by electron transfer, [16] a process thermodynamically understood using the Born–Haber cycle. [17] Salts are formed by salt-forming reactions. A base and an acid, e.g., NH 3 + HCl → ...

  4. Electrolysis of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolysis_of_water

    In the case of water electrolysis, Gibbs free energy represents the minimum work necessary for the reaction to proceed, and the reaction enthalpy is the amount of energy (both work and heat) that has to be provided so the reaction products are at the same temperature as the reactant (i.e. standard temperature for the values given above ...

  5. Reactivity series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactivity_series

    electronegative metals with values between 1.9 and 2.54. From the image, the group 1–2 metals and the lanthanides and actinides are very electropositive to electropositive; the transition metals in groups 3 to 12 are very electropositive to electronegative; and the post-transition metals are electropositive to electronegative.

  6. Heterolysis (chemistry) - Wikipedia

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

    The rate of reaction for many reactions involving unimolecular heterolysis depends heavily on rate of ionization of the covalent bond. The limiting reaction step is generally the formation of ion pairs. One group in Ukraine did an in-depth study on the role of nucleophilic solvation and its effect on the mechanism of bond heterolysis.

  7. Electrochemical gradient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrochemical_gradient

    The process that occurs is similar to the Q-cycle in Complex III of the electron transport chain. In the first reaction, PQH 2 binds to the complex on the lumen side and one electron is transferred to the iron-sulfur center which then transfers it to cytochrome f which then transfers it to plastocyanin.

  8. Electrochemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrochemistry

    The spontaneous redox reactions of a conventional battery produce electricity through the different reduction potentials of the cathode and anode in the electrolyte. However, electrolysis requires an external source of electrical energy to induce a chemical reaction, and this process takes place in a compartment called an electrolytic cell .

  9. Electrodialysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrodialysis

    Electrodialysis processes are different from distillation techniques and other membrane based processes (such as reverse osmosis (RO)) in that dissolved species are moved away from the feed stream, whereas other processes move away the water from the remaining substances. Because the quantity of dissolved species in the feed stream is far less ...
