A two-dimensional model for the ionic lattice in sodium chloride Remember that the lattice arrangement is giant - for example, a single grain of salt may contain 1.2 × 10 18 (1,200,000,000,000,000,000 ...

Dielectric properties of ionic and binary mixtures offer a critical insight into the interplay between molecular polarisation, ion dynamics and intermolecular interactions. In such systems, the static ...

Supported ionic liquid phases (SILPs) represent a proven strategy for catalysis, comprising a thin ionic liquid (IL) film deposited on a high-surface-area support, in which a homogeneous catalyst can ...

The basic principle of magneto-ionic gating involves the use of an ionic liquid or gel electrolyte that is placed between a gate electrode and the target material. When a gate voltage is applied, ions ...

Chemical bonding is the force of attraction that holds atoms together to form molecules or compounds. There are two primary types of chemical bonds: ionic and covalent bonds. Both these bonds play a ...
