| common ion effect | <chemistry> The influence on an equilibrium by the presence of a substance which contains ions that participate in the equilibrium. (09 Oct 1997) |
|---|---|
| complex ion | The colour, texture, and general appearance of the skin of the face. Origin: L. Complexio, a combination, (later) physical condition (05 Mar 2000) Previous: complex carbohydrate, complex closure, complex febrile convulsion, complexinNext: complex ion, complexity, complex learning processescomplex ion <chemistry> An ion formed by the combination of a central metal ion and ligands. (05 Jan 1998) |
| Heavy Ion Beams | <radiobiology> Particle beams using heavy (as opposed to light) ions. These can be used for inertial confinement fusion research. (10 Jan 1998) |
| P with a subscript for the ion | <abbreviation> Permeability constant. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hydride ion | The H- i., transferred to acceptor molecules in some biological oxidations. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hydrogen ion | A hydrogen atom minus its electron and therefore carrying a unit positive charge (i.e., a proton); in water, it combines with a water molecule to form hydronium ion, H3O+. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hydronium ion | <chemistry> A positively charged ion that is water with an additional hydrogen atom (H3O). (09 Oct 1997) |
| spectrometry, mass, secondary ion | A mass-spectrometric technique that is used for microscopic chemical analysis. A beam of primary ions with an energy of 5-20 kiloelectronvolts (kev) bombards a small spot on the surface of the sample under ultra-high vacuum conditions. Positive and negative secondary ions sputtered from the surface are analyzed in a mass spectrometer in regards to their mass-to-charge ratio. (12 Dec 1998) |
| sulfonium ion | A compound in which a sulfur atom has three single covalent bonds and therefore has a positive charge analogous to the nitrogen of an ammonium compound; e.g., S-adenosyl-l-methionine. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulfur-ferric ion oxidoreductase | <enzyme> From thiobacillus ferrooxidans; catalyses the production of sulfite and fe(2+) from elemental sulfur and fe(3+) Registry number: EC 1.8.99.- Synonym: sf oxidoreductase, sulfite-ferric ion oxidoreductase (26 Jun 1999) |
| ion | <chemistry, radiobiology> Atomic particle, atom or chemical radical bearing an electric charge, either negative or positive. (16 Dec 1997) |
| ion cyclotron emission | <radiobiology> As ions gyrate around in a magnetic field (see also larmor radius or cyclotron radius), they radiate radio-frequency electromagnetic waves. This is known as ion cyclotron emission, and can be measured to help diagnose a plasma. (09 Oct 1997) |
| ion diode | <radiobiology> Device for producing and accelerating ion beams for light ion drivers for inertial confinement fusion. Ions are produced in an anode plasma, extracted as space-charge-limited ion flow, and accelerated to the cathode, composed of a confined electron swarm, by an applied electric field. Millions of amperes of current at millions of volts have been produced this way. (27 Oct 1998) |
| ion exchange | Reversible chemical reaction between a solid, often an ion exchange resin, and a fluid whereby ions may be exchanged from one substance to another. This technique is used in water purification, in research, and in industry. (12 Dec 1998) |
| ion exchange chromatography | <procedure> Separation of molecules by absorption and desorption from charged polymers. An important technique for protein purification. For small molecules the support is usually polystyrene, but for macromolecules, cellulose, acrylamide or agarose supports give less non-specific absorption and denaturation. Typical charged residues are CM carboxymethyl) or DEAE (diethylaminoethyl). (27 Oct 1998) |
