When the number of electrons does not equal the number of protons, the atom is ionized. (The atom is then called an ion).

Is an ionized drug more lipophilic or less lipophilic?

An ionized drug is generally less lipophilic than its non-ionized form. This is because ionization usually results in the drug having a greater affinity for water rather than lipid-based environments.


Are ionized molecules less reactive than non-ionized molecules?

Ionized molecules are generally more reactive than non-ionized molecules because they have unpaired electrons or a charge that makes them more likely to participate in chemical reactions. This increased reactivity is due to the higher energy state of ionized molecules compared to non-ionized ones.


Can atoms be ionized by being excited?

No. When you excite an atom, you just do something with the electrons within the atom. (You take them into higher energy levels.) An atom can be ionized only when it is charged, you would have to remove or add an electron. But you are only placing the electron on higher energy level, so it stays within the atom, therefore atom is not ionized.


Is ionized water base or acid?

Ionized water can be both alkaline and acidic, depending on the pH level. Alkaline ionized water has a pH greater than 7, while acidic ionized water has a pH less than 7. The pH level can be adjusted during the ionization process.


Can you draw the structures of an ionized carboxyl group and an ionized amino group in one question?

The ionized carboxyl group has a negatively charged oxygen atom bonded to a carbon atom, which is also bonded to a hydroxyl group. The ionized amino group has a positively charged nitrogen atom bonded to two hydrogen atoms.

How would you build a model that is ionized What happens if an atom is too ionized How would you build a model that is radioactive What happens if the imbalance between protons and neutrons becomes to?

To build a model of an ionized atom, you would start with a neutral atom and then remove one or more electrons, resulting in a positively charged ion. If an atom becomes too ionized, it may lose its stability and react more readily with other atoms or molecules. For a radioactive model, you would depict an unstable nucleus with an imbalance of protons and neutrons; this could be represented by showing excess energy or particles being emitted. If the imbalance becomes too great, the atom may undergo radioactive decay, leading to the emission of radiation and transformation into another element or isotope.
