A dot and cross diagram for sodium chloride suggests that it is made up of pairs of sodium and chloride ions. It is not. A 3D construction model shows how the ions are arranged in a lattice structure.

Researchers have confirmed that mammalian BK ion channels regulate themselves using a “ball-and-chain” mechanism. A recent ...

In nature, common minerals called silicates react with water and atmospheric CO 2 to form stable bicarbonate ions and solid carbonate minerals -- a process known as weathering. However ...
