Negative Ion facts
While investigating facts about Negative Ion, I found out little known, but curios details like:
He had discovered that when electrolytes were dissolved in water they split into positive and negative ions.
In an ion, however, there are more of one of particle than the other, making the atom have either a positive or negative charge.
In my opinion, it is useful to put together a list of the most interesting details from trusted sources that I've come across. Here are 10 of the best facts about Negative Ion I managed to collect.
-
In ionic compounds, the positive ion is typically mentioned first, followed by the negative ion.
-
The fundamental difference between animal action potentials and plant action potentials is that the depolarization in plant cells is not accomplished by an uptake of positive sodium ions, but by release of negative chloride ions.
-
You can completely change every material in a Lithium-ion battery and still call it a Lithium-ion battery because the term Lithium-ion only dictates the counter ion that moves back and forth between the negative electrode to the positive electrode.
-
Some “negative ion” alternative remedy products contain Thorium, which is radioactive. Wearing three of these products for a year can put the user at a radiation dose of 100mSv/year. Which is found to cause cancer. Over time radioactive particles can flake off and even be ingested
-
Negative Ion Products such a fitness bracelets and pain reducing garments are radioactive
-
"negative-ion healthcare products" may contain Thorium and be radioactive. There are radioactive pairs of underwear potentially being sold on Amazon.
-
Himalayan salt lamps (as you might expect) do not create negative ions as claimed. Negative ions have been connected to improved mood and claims of counteracting S.A.D. or Depression, but these lamps literally do not create or emit them.
