Best Answer

A cationic molecule is a positively charged ion. It is attracted to the cathode, or the negative pole, during electrolysis.

Is acepromazine a cationic amphiphilic drug?

Most likely, yes. It has a weakly-basic amine head group (cationic-hydrophilic) and a heterocyclic tail group that would be expected to give hydrophobic character to the molecule, making the molecule both cationic and amphiphilic.

Is salt a hydrophilic or hydrophobic?

No. Instead, salt is hydrophilic ("water-loving"). Salt (NaCl, or Na+ and Cl-) is very attracted to Water (H20, or H2+ and O-) because opposite electrostatic charges attract. The anionic ("negatively charged") Chlorine end of the salt molecule is attracted to the 2 cationic ("positively charged") Hydrogen ions of the water molecule: Cl- wants H2+. In the same way, the cationic Sodium end is attracted to the anionic Oxygen end: Na+ wants O-. Since each end of the salt molecule is attracted to the reciprocal end of the water molecule, there is a strong overall molecular attraction.

Difference between cationic and anionic dyes?

anionic dyes have a negative charge and attach to cationic surfaces and vice versa when the cationc dyes which are postively charged attach to anionic surfaces...
