What happens when an amphoteric oxide reacts with sodium hydroxide solution? Yes, amphoteric oxides do react with sodium hydoxide toRead More →
An atom of sodium (Na) donates one of its electrons to an atom of chlorine (Cl) in a chemical reaction, and the resulting positive ion (Na+) and negative ion (Cl−) form a stable ionic compound (sodium chloride; common table salt) based on this ionic bond. When sodium forms a bondRead More →
The sodium ions that entered the cell spread to the adjacent negative area and change it to positive. As a result, the action potential (= depolarization of the membrane) continues to propagate itself along the membrane. What prevents sodium ions from continuing to enter the cell? After the peak ofRead More →
