This animation shows a very simplified model of how sodium and chloride ions are formed. Note: In order to simplify the model of ionic bonding, a single atom of sodium and chlorine are shown. In ...

The negative areas of the water molecules surround the positive sodium ions. As the attractions from the water molecules and their motion pulls the ions apart, the sodium chloride crystal dissolves.

Sodium, Potassium and zinc ... Teng, the James H. Manning professor of Chemical Engineering at WPI, has discovered a new redox chemistry empowered by chloride ions for the development of seawater ...

Sodium chloride nanoparticles – more commonly known as salt – are toxic to cancer cells and offer the potential for therapies that have fewer negative side effects than current treatments.

Understanding why ocean water is salty but river water isn’t is a fascinating topic, and one that has intrigued scientists for centuries. The answer lies in a combination of geological and natural ...

Sodium Chloride is an alkali halide with an fcc crystal structure. The basis is two ions, a sodium cation and a chlorine anion. The crystal lattice parameter is 0.563 nm. The diagram shows both a unit ...
