The anion (negatively charged ion) Cl is the anion (chloride ion). It is generated when the element chlorine (a halogen) gets an electron or when a molecule such as hydrogen chloride is dissolved in water or other polar solvents. Chloride compounds like sodium chloride are frequently extremely soluble in water. [4] It is an electrolyte
When an electrolyte is dissolved in a polar solvent, such as water, it generates an electrically conducting solution. The electrolyte dissolves and splits into cations and anions, which scatter evenly across the solvent. Such a solution is electrically neutral. When an electric potential is introduced to such a solution, the cations are pulled to the

An epileptic seizure, formally known as a seizure, is a period of symptoms due to abnormally excessive or synchronous neuronal activity in the brain. Outward effects vary from uncontrolled shaking movements involving much of the body with loss of consciousness (tonic-clonic seizure), to shaking movements involving only part of the body with variable levels of consciousness (focal seizure), to a subtle momentary loss of
