When potassium and fluorine bind what one will be the positive ion and which one will be the negative ion?

Potassium will be the the positive ion, and fluorine will be the negative ion because the potassium atom will give one electron to fluorine for they can both be stable. Fluorine will receive one electron from potassium and it will be stable because it has now 8 valence electrons. Giving is positive and receiving is negative. Hope this helps.


How does EDTA effect potassium level?

EDTA can chelate or bind to potassium ions in the blood, forming a complex that reduces the amount of free potassium available for measurement in laboratory tests. This can lead to falsely low potassium levels in blood tests. It is important for healthcare providers to be aware of this interference when interpreting potassium levels in patients who are receiving EDTA therapy.


What group would element lithium want to bind with?

Lithium typically wants to bind with group VII elements, like halogens (e.g., fluorine, chlorine) to form ionic compounds. It can also potentially bind with group VI elements, like oxygen, to form lithium oxide compounds.


What occurs during a single cycle of sodium-potassium exchange pump?

Three sodium ions are moved out of the cell for every ATP hydrolyzed by the pump. At the same time, two potassium ions are moved into the cell.


What results from hydrogen being at one end of a water molecule and oxygen at the other end?

They are not attracted to each other because one is polar and one is nonpolar.

What is form ionic?

Ionic bonds are chemical bonds by positive ionic charge(normally hydrogen , metals +) and negative ionic charge(chlorine ,sulphur etc ) that bind to form compounds.


Why is a protein more soluble when it has more positive or more negative charges?

Proteins become more soluble with increased positive or negative charges because they form more interactions with water molecules through electrostatic attractions. These charged residues can bind to water molecules, stabilizing the protein structure and increasing its solubility in aqueous environments.

Alloreactivity is a positive selection step or negative selection step?

Neither. Alloreactivity has to do with a lymphocytes reacting to a foreign antigen. Positive and negative selection are processes of central tolerance which is to say that they deal with a T cell's ability to bind self-antigen.


What is the difference between plain potassium pills and potassium gluconate pills?

In practicality, none. It is fairly simple chemistry. Potassim (K) typically does not just exist naturally as itself. It is usually is bonded with some other elements or substance. In the case of Potassium Pills, it is bonded with chloride and you get KCl. Potassium Gluconate just uses a a gluconate molecule instead of a Cl to bind it to. You may compare this to Na Cl or Sodium Chloride (Table Salt). You never eat sodium alone, it is always in combination with Chloride. The reason in short is that when Potassium is combined with another chemical it becomes charged positive (K+) and this is useful for your body. Any supplement you buy that contains Potassium, whether it be Potassium Gluconate or Potassium Chloride, are most often the same.


Is Methylene blue positive or negative in dye solution?

Methylene blue is a cationic dye, meaning it has a positive charge in solution. This positive charge allows it to bind effectively to negatively charged components, such as nucleic acids and proteins, making it useful in various biological and staining applications. In acidic or neutral pH conditions, methylene blue remains positively charged, contributing to its effectiveness as a dye.

How does ionization clean the air?

All particles in the air have a positive or negative charge. The ionization unit pumps positive or negative ions into the existing air supply. These ions bind to the junk in the air. This makes that new complex heavy enough to fall to the floor where it stays. These will not then be breathed in and contaminate your body.
