E. Hydrated divalent cation approaching a channel with a slightly larger diameter than in D, but the energy of interaction with the divalent cation is sufficient to deform the channel drawing the walls in to make lateral coordination with the divalent cation. Since the channel is too small for a monovalent cation to pass through with its first hydration shell and since the monovalent cation channel interaction is insufficient to make the channel small enough for lateral coordination of the monovalent cation, the channel is selective for divalent cations.

The two limiting cases are again specific binding and atmospheric condensation. Specific binding, as exemplified by the divalent cations Ca and Mg ", Implies entrapment within a Stern layer and attachment to a specific group, such as carboxylate or phosphate. Atmospheric condensation refers to the presence of the fully hydrated Ion In a diffuse double layer or In a Gouy-Chapman shell. 

The dynamics of aqueous divalent post-transition-metal ions have also been studied by Rode s group (Lim et al. 2009 Bhattacharjee et al. 2009 Azam et al. 2010 Rode and Lim 2010). Their peculiar behaviour is ascribed to the lone pair electrons, so that in the proximal hydration hemisphere they are only slightly water stmcture makers, but in the distal hydration hemisphere they are slightly structure breakers. Even for the first hydration shell the RMRTs are much smaller than for the transition metal cations, and for the second shell the RMRTs are 120 % for Ge +, 107 % for Sn +, and 140 % for Pb +. The non-monotonically varying values with the atomic number should be noted. 

Calcification involves the seeding of the calcium apatite crystal and the growth of the crystals. It would be more convenient to review the second of these mechanisms first. This can best be done by assuming for the moment that the bone matrix, connective or cartilaginous, is bathed in a medium supersaturated in calcium phosphate. Intrinsic to the matrix, there is a mechanism that precipitates calcium phosphate in the form of tiny apatite crystals. If there is no interference with the process of calcification, either by deficient absorption of calcium (vitamin D deficiency) or by active dissolution of the calcium crystals (parathormone), most of the process of mineralization can probably be explained by the physicochemical properties of the apatite crystals. Thus, the divalent cations and anions, PO4 and calcium, penetrate the hydration shell reaching the surface of the crystals where they are crystallized, thereby increasing the size of the crystals. As mineralization proceeds, the amount of bound... 

In aqueous solution the actinide cations interact with the solvent water. This hydration is a special case of complex ion formation with water as a nucleophilic ligand. The hydrated ions act as acids, splitting off protons from the water molecules of the hydration shell. Their acidity increases with the charge on the central atom. The divalent ions are weak acids. On account of their large radii, the... 

Then the solvent-coordination number of the ion in the solution, h, is obtained by the integration according to Equation 4.32. Second hydration shells have been definitely ascribed to divalent and trivalent cations from x-ray diffraction measurements. The coordination number h for water molecules in this second shell is generally assumed to be 12, the number then being corroborated by the diffraction data.
