Like charges

Referring to Section XI-6B, the effect of the exclusion of coions (ions of like charge to that of the interface) results in an increase in solution concentration from rq to Rq. Since the solution must remain electrically neutral, this means that the counterions (ions of charge opposite to that of the interface) must also increase in concentration from Ro to Rq. Yet Fig. V-1 shows the counterions to be positively adsorbed. Should not their concentration therefore decrease on adding the adsorbent to the solution Explain. 

The adhesion between two solid particles has been treated. In addition to van der Waals forces, there can be an important electrostatic contribution due to charging of the particles on separation [76]. The adhesion of hematite particles to stainless steel in aqueous media increased with increasing ionic strength, contrary to intuition for like-charged surfaces, but explainable in terms of electrical double-layer theory [77,78]. Hematite particles appear to form physical bonds with glass surfaces and chemical bonds when adhering to gelatin [79]. 

The Donnan effect acts to exclude like-charged substrate ions from a charged surface region, and this exclusion, as well as the concentration of oppositely charged ions, can be expressed in terms of a Donnan potential pD. Thus for a film of positively charged surfactant ions S one can write...

Electrostatics is the study of interactions between charged objects. Electrostatics alone will not described molecular systems, but it is very important to the understanding of interactions of electrons, which is described by a wave function or electron density. The central pillar of electrostatics is Coulombs law, which is the mathematical description of how like charges repel and unlike charges attract. The Coulombs law equations for energy and the force of interaction between two particles with charges q and q2 at a distance rn are...

All of the material in this text and most of chemistry generally can be understood on the basis of what physicists call the electromagnetic force Its major principle is that opposite charges attract and like charges repel As you learn organic chemistry a good way to start to connect structure to properties such as chemical reactivity is to find the positive part of one molecule and the neg ative part of another Most of the time these will be the reactive sites...

A hexapole assembly of rods (poles) is built similarly to the quadrupole, but now there are three sets of opposed rods evenly spaced around a central axis. The hexapole cannot act as a mass filter by applying a DC field and is used only in its all-RF mode. It is therefore a wide band-pass filter and is used to collimate an ion beam. (Like-charged particles repel each other, and an electrically charged beam will tend to spread apart because of mutual repulsion of ions unless steps are taken to reduce the effect.)... 

Because the electrically charged droplets retain their charge but get smaller, their electric field increases. At some point, mutual repulsion between like charges causes charged particles (ions) to leave the surface of the droplet (ion evaporation). These ions can be detected by the mass spectrometer. 

A range of plasticizer molecule models and a model for PVC have been generated and energy minimized to observe their most stable conformations. Such models highlight the free volume iacrease caused by the mobiHty of the plasticizer alkyl chains. More detailed models have also been produced to concentrate on the polar region of the plasticizer and its possible mode of interaction with the polymer. These show the expected repulsion between areas on the polymer and plasticizer of like charge as weU as attraction between the negative portions of the plasticizer and positive portions of the PVC. 

There is a strong attraction between dye and fiber when oppositely charged. The mobile charged dyestuff chromogen "moves" from the external water phase to the stationary internal fiber phase. For like-charged entities repulsion occurs, and no movement of dyestuff from the water to the fiber takes place. 

These two experiments make a number of important points. An <7-HMP will not react with an ortho position as long as a para reaction site is available. A p-HMP will react with unoccupied ortho position at about half the rate that it reacts with a substituted para position. This suggests that there is something special about the repulsion between the phenolic hydroxyls. Since the pH was only 8, it is clear that there was ample opportunity for a salted 2-HMP to find and react with an unsalted 2-HMP. Both species were present. On this basis, we cannot invoke repulsion of like-charged ions. According to Jones salted species probably react with unsalted species and this is one reason that reaction rate drops rapidly when PF pH gets much above 9.0 [147]. Yet the phenolic hydroxyl appears to be the cause of the reduced reactivity of the ortho position. Unfortunately, Jones did much of his work in a carbonate buffer. He did not realize the pH-dependent accelerating effects of carbonate on PF condensation.

The accelerative effect of electrostatic attraction between anions and positively charged substrates and the decelerative repulsion of like charges in the reagents is discussed in Sections I,D, 2,a and b, II,Bj4, and III, A, 2. 

Recent research has conclusively demonstrated the presence of extremely low levels of tertiary and allylic chlorines in PVC as structural defects [118]. Such chlorines, which are extremely labile, when present in areas of like-charge concentration in the polymer matrix would be more susceptible to breaking from the chain than the ordinary secondary chlorines. 

Ionic atmosphere. An ion, on the average, is surrounded by more ions of opposite charge than of like charge. 

Because of electrostatic attraction, an ion in solution tends to surround itself with more ions of opposite than of like charge (Figure 10.12). The existence of this ionic atmosphere, first proposed by Peter Debye (1884-1966), a Dutch physical chemist in 1923, prevents ions from acting as completely independent solute particles. The result is to make an ion somewhat less effective than a nonelectrolyte molecule in its influence on colligative properties. 

An alternative interpretation for the activated behavior of the photocurrent and the PIA-decrease with temperature was proposed by Townsend et al. [35], They assigned their experimental results to a thermally activated interchuin-hoppmg mechanism for bipolaron-like charged soliton pairs, the experiments of which were carried out on Durham /ran.v-polyacetylene.
