Ion Definition and 406 Threads

I am doing a high level three year course in which I pick a science topic and do research on it. I will have the privilege of working with scientists and professors from several universities and laboratories and for this course I get 12 college credits, plus one high school credit for each of...

A Fe+ ion is traveling at 200 m/sec in a direction 20 deg south of west at a point. The magnetic field at that point is 0.4 T directed at 10 deg west of south. What is the instantaneous magnetic force that acts on the Fe is how many Newtons?

ION Drives are relatively new technologys, and have been used for small un-manned missions to comets and stuff, however, there incredibly weak (0.2N thrust from what i have read). Does this teachnology have the potential to accelerate something like a 5 tonne manned ship at 10m/s ? I have...

Hi people. I am asking this for a friend, and he's not here right now, so I'm doing my best to remember exactly what it was that he was looking for, but I know that he is looking for something which is soluble, and I think he said Metal Ion, which is non-toxic etc, that can be used to make...

Why is it that sometimes ligands that surround a transition metal ion form a square planar arrangement? Surely the best thing to do (according to electron pair repulsion theory) would be to form a tetrahedral arrangement. I have heard that complex ions with Nickel as the transition metal...

Boron ion battery?? If B[11] reacts with a neutron, it yields one atom of C[12] and one atom of N. The Earth is constantly being bombarded by neutrons. Could a battery be developed to exploit the neutrons?
