He compares an electrolytic cell to a ballroom, in which are gyrating a number of dancing couples, representing the neutral molecules, and a number of isolated ladies and gentlemen representing the anions and cations respectively.
Similarly the anions are repelled by the cathode and attracted by the anode.
Also we know that organic anions are usually much more strongly adsorbed than inorganic anions, and hence that in such cases a{1} is more nearly approached by the value of a{2}.
With these salts the full effect of multivalent anions is not attained, so that somewhat strong solutions are necessary.
In the hydrolysis by acids SO{4} retards the action, the other anionsand the kations accelerate it, in the lyotrope order.
When a current is passed through an electrolyte, dissociation into ions takes place, the ions which are freed round the anode being called anions and those which are freed round the kathode being called kations.
But a certain number of molecules do not dissociate, and hence in an electrolytic solution there are neutral molecules, anions and kations.
The anions carry negative charges and are consequently attracted by the positive electricity of the anode.
Hydrogen ions move five to ten times as fast as theanions and carry 80–90 per cent of the current; see p.
Notwithstanding the striking contrasts of all kinds which these gases present of property, of density, whether simple or compound, anions or cations (665.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "anions" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
