The formulas of the salts represent ratio formulas. It describes the ratio of cations to anions. Here it is explained how to arrive at these ratios and how salt formulas can be established as a result. The naming is more of a minor matter here. Original: "Wolfgang Dukorn" Original: German. All tra
Sodium reacts with chlorine to form a white salt, sodium chloride. An ionic bond of cations and anions is formed. It is explained how the PSE helps to determine the charges of the ions and to establish the ratio formula from them. Original: "Wolfgang Dukorn" Original: German. All translations in t
Learn the basics about electrolysis. Electrolysis is electrical current flow through a liquid which causes chemical changes. The liquid can be a molten ionic compound or aqueous solution. The liquid will contain free-flowing positive ions and negative ions. The positive ions are called cations, a
