The researchers measured the degradation of platinum electrodes in electrolytes containing different cations, which are atoms with positive charges, from the same group of the periodic table (lithium, ...

the more vigorous its reactions are the more easily it loses electrons in reactions to form positive ions (cations) The table summarises some reactions of metals in the reactivity series.

The higher the CEC, the higher the negative charge and the more cations that can be held. Since a soil's CEC comes from the clay and organic matter present, it can be estimated from soil texture and ...

To accommodate a negatively charged sorbent, cations accumulate closer to the surface than anions. Inner-sphere and outer-sphere complexes occupy the first layer of sorbates, with the remainder of ...
