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
Gatorade is an American beverage and food company best known for its distinctive range of sports beverages. PepsiCo now manufactures Gatorade, which is distributed in over 80 countries. A team of researchers lead by Dr. Robert Cade invented the beverage in 1965. It was created for the University of Florida’s Gators to restore the carbohydrates
As you possibly already know, the Earth’s surface is constantly eroded by flowing water. After rivers erode rock and soil, they deposit (drop) their load downstream. This process is known as deposition. Rocks and soils deposited by streams are known as “sediments”. Rivers and streams deposit sediment where the speed of the water current decreases. In

In Pakistan, the Left Bank Outfall Drain is a drainage channel. The canal, which was built between 1987 and 1997 with World Bank funding, collects saline water, industrial effluents, and Indus river basin floodwater from more than two million hectares of land in the Nara river basin of Shaheed Benazirabad, Sanghar, Mirpurkhas, and Badin districts

Insects (from Latin insectum) are pancrustacean hexapod invertebrates of the class Insecta. They are the largest group within the arthropod phylum. Insects have a chitinous exoskeleton, a three-part body (head, thorax and abdomen), three pairs of jointed legs, compound eyes and one pair of antennae. Insects are the most diverse group of animals; they include more than a million described species and represent more than half of all known living organisms. The total number of extant species is estimated at
The coat of arms of Nuuk is a design of mostly blue and white, with a red building in the center known as the “red siminar”, the teachers’ training college of Nuuk, Greenland, and a yellow paddle floating in the water in front of it. There are three sets of white waves in front of the paddle, and Mt. Sermitsiaq in

Hydrogen is the chemical element with the symbol H and atomic number 1. Hydrogen is the lightest element. At standard conditions hydrogen is a gas of diatomic molecules having the formula H2. It is colorless, odorless, non-toxic, and highly combustible. Hydrogen is the most abundant chemical substance in the universe, constituting roughly 75% of all
The hydrosphere is defined as the total mass of water found on, beneath, and above the surface of a planet, minor planet, or natural satellite. Despite the fact that the Earth’s hydrosphere has been existing for roughly 4 billion years, it is still changing shape. This is created by seafloor spreading and continental drift, which
The Caspian Sea is the world’s largest inland body of water. It covers 371,000 km2 (143,000 sq mi) and has a volume of 78,200 km3 (19,000 cu mi). It has a salinity of approximately 1.2% (12 g/l), about a third that of average seawater.
