An electron is transferred from sodium to chlorine. Sodium becomes a positive ion and chlorine becomes a negative ion. The positive and negative ions attract each other and form the ionic compound ...

A neutral gas is used as fuel, which is ionized by stripping electrons from the atoms, resulting in a supply of positive ions that can readily be accelerated by electrostatic or electromagnetic ...

IT was shown recently in this laboratory 1 that the emission of positive ions from a heated Kunsman catalyst is accompanied by the evaporation of neutral atoms. In particular, a cæsium source ...

The atom is neutral as it has two positive protons and two negative electrons. A helium atom that has lost or gained an electron is an ion. The ion has two positive protons but one electron so it ...

while positive charges remain in the water or dissipate quickly. This phenomenon increases the concentration of negative ions in the environment, which can directly influence our body and mind ...

At elevated temperatures the lattice becomes an ionic conductor, with the major contribution to charge transport from positive ion vacancy motion.
