What are the two types of ions?

Answer:

Ions Anions are negatively charged ions. Anions are negatively charged because there are more electrons associated with them than there are protons in their nuclei. Cations are positively charged ions. Cations are the opposite of anions, since cations have fewer electrons than protons. Dianion: a dianion is a species which has two negative charges on it; for example, the aromatic dianion pentalene. Radical ions: radical ions are ions that contain an odd number of electrons and are mostly very reactive and unstable. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------What type of ions are there? In Chemistry, there are 2 types of ions: anions and cations. Anions are negatively charged ions. Cations are positively charged ions. I know this is not part of your question but just for info, do not mistake these with anode and cathode in electronics. I sometimes do...anode is a POSITIVE ELECTRODE. Cathode is a NEGATIVE ELECTRODE.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Definition: Work is defined (in calculus terms) as the integral of the force over a distance of displacement. In the case of a constant force, work is the scalar product of the force acting on an object and the displacement caused by that force. Though both force and displacement are vectorquantities, work has no direction due to the nature of a scalar product (or dot product) invector mathematics. This definition is consistent with the proper definition, because a constant force integrates to merely the product of the force and distance. The SI units for work are the joule (J) or newton-meter (N * m), from the function W = F * swhere W is work, F is force, and s is the displacement. The joule is also the SI unit ofenergy. Definition: Energy is the capacity of a physical system to perform work. Energy exists in several forms such as heat, kinetic or mechanical energy, light, potential energy, electrical, or other forms. According to the law of conservation of energy, the total energy of a system remains constant, though energy may transform into another form. Two billiard balls colliding, for example, may come to rest, with the resulting energy becoming sound and perhaps a bit of heat at the point of collision. The SI unit of energy is the joule (J) or newton-meter (N * m). The joule is also the SI unit of work.

Energy, Work & Power

The concept of energy is central to physics, as many times the analysis of a system's motion involves understanding how energy is changing. The change in energy is known as work, and the work done over a given period of time is known as power. What is Kinetic Energy? Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, a concept which is used widely in physics to solve problems involving changes in motion. Gravitational Potential Energy Gravitational potential energy represents the energy that is "stored" in the gravitational field due to an object's position within that field. It is a useful tool for simplifying and solving many problems involving motion, especially those related to free-falling objects Definition: Power is the time rate at which work is done or energy is transferred. In calculus terms, power is the derivative of work with respect to time. The SI unit of power is the watt (W) or joule per second (J/s). Horsepower is a unit of power in the British system of measurement

Question: Introduction to Heat Transfer - How Does Heat Transfer? What is heat? How does heat transfer take place? What are the effects on matter when heat transfers from one body to another? Answer: Heat transfer is a process by which internal energy from one substance transfers to another substance. Thermodynamics is the study of heat transfer and the changes that result from it. An understanding of heat transfer is crucial to analyzing a thermodynamic process, such as those that take place in heat engines and heat pumps. efinition: Heat energy (or just heat) is a form of energy which transfers among particles in a substance (or system) by means of kinetic energy of those particle. In other words, under kinetic theory, the heat is transfered by particles bouncing into each other. In physical equations, the amount of heat transferred is usually denoted with the symbolQ. Heat vs. Temperature Note this crucial component to the above definition: Heat always refers to the transfer of energy between systems (or bodies), not to energy contained within the systems (or bodies). This can be very confusing, because we're used to in day-to-day conversation talking about heat as if it's contained in something. This distinction between heat and temperature is subtle, but very important. Example: The iron is hot, so it's reasonable to say it must have a lot of heat in it. Reasonable, but wrong. It's more appropriate to say that it has a lot of energy in it (i.e. it has a high temperature), and touching it will cause that energy to transfer to your hand ... in the form of heat. Units of Heat As a form of energy, the SI unit for heat is the joule (J), though heat is frequently also measured in the calorie (cal), which is defined as "the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of water from 14.5 degrees Celsius to 15.5 degrees Celsius." Heat is also sometimes measured in "British thermal units" or Btu. Also Known As: thermal energy
