Generally YES!!!
However, that statement 'ionized atoms' is questioned.
An ATOM has a neutral charge; the number of protons and electrons are equal.
An ION has a charge; the number of protons and electrons is unequal.
A positively charged ion (M^+) is named a CATION, and a negatively charged ion (X^-) is named an ANION. Collectively they are IONS.
e.g. Taking Sodium as an example, it has 11 protons and 11 electrons in the neutrally charge atom. However, it readily ionizes to form the CATION (Na^+), which has 11 protons and 10 electrons. Known as 'the Sodium ion'.
Similarly, taking Chlorine as a second example, it has 17protons and 17 electrons in the neutrally charge atom. However, it readily accepts an electron to form the ANION (Cl^-), which has 17 protons and 18 electrons. Known as the 'Chloride ion'.
What else can I help you with?
Is soap hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
Soap is both hydrophobic and hydrophilic. It has a hydrophobic tail that repels water and a hydrophilic head that attracts water, allowing it to interact with both water and oils.
Is cysteine considered hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
Cysteine is considered hydrophobic.
Are ions hydrophilic or hydrophobic?
Most are written with an aq after their symbols - aq is short for aqueous - water.
What is the similarities of hydrophillic and hydrophobic?
it is the opposite. Hydrophobic is water hating, hydrophilic is water loving. ie, hydrophobic substances avoid water, hydrophilic are attracted
Are ionic compounds hydrophobic?
No. They are almost always hydrophilic and easily dissolve in water.
Is starch hydrophobic?
Starches can be both hydrophobic and hydrophilic, although most of them are hydrophilic.
Is vitamin A hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
hydrophobic
Are fish scales hydrophilic or hydrophobic?
Hydrophilic
Why hydrophilic proteins when placed in hydrophobic solvent their is denaturation of the proteins?
Hydrophilic molecules are repulsed by surrounding hydrophobic solvent. Hydrophilic tends to connect with hydrophilic, and hydrophobic with hydrophobic. If the protein as a part which is hydrophobic, then it will twist itself to accommodate those new connections, and when they change their form, they denature.
Is soap hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
Soap is both hydrophobic and hydrophilic. It has a hydrophobic tail that repels water and a hydrophilic head that attracts water, allowing it to interact with both water and oils.
What is the opposite of hydrophobic?
Hydrophilic
Is cholesterol hydrophobic or hydrophobic?
Cholesterol has many hydrophobic side chains and a single hydrophilic side chain. Because it contains both hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups, it is amphipathic.yes cholesterol Hydrophobic , choestol not soluble in water
Is the molecule nonpolar and hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
The molecule is nonpolar and hydrophobic.
Is cysteine considered hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
Cysteine is considered hydrophobic.
Is a phospholipid hydrophilic or hydrophobic?
A phospholipid has both hydrophilic (water-attracting) and hydrophobic (water-repelling) parts, making it amphipathic.
Why is a phospholipid both hydrophilic and hydrophobic?
They have both hydrophilic and hydrophobic heads. In a lipid bilayer, the hydrophilic head of the phospholipid faces the outside of the membrane while the hydrophobic head faces the the hydrophobic head of another phospholipid.
Are ions hydrophilic or hydrophobic?
Most are written with an aq after their symbols - aq is short for aqueous - water.
