An Ionic bond is formed when one of the atoms can donate electrons to achieve the inert gas electron configuration and the other atom needs electrons to achieve the inert gas electron configuration.

Dot and cross diagrams help us to model when ions are formed from atoms. Here’s an example using sodium and chlorine. They form ions which bond to form sodium chloride. 2. Work out how many electrons ...

This article was published in Scientific American’s former blog network and reflects the views of the author, not necessarily those of Scientific American A while ago, I wrote a couple of posts ...

Researchers compared three different drug delivery models based on ionic liquids. Scientists have developed a powerful API-IL concept to access structural diversity and dual-action pharmaceuticals.

In this paper, the self-assembling characteristics of a series of L-glutamate-based ammonium amphiphiles are studied in ionic liquids (ILs). These cationic amphiphiles are dispersible in imidazolium ...

The human organism is composed of numerous types of molecules, both simple and complex, and all fundamental processes in a living body occur in water solutions. Therefore, for a drug to work, it must ...
