Example
Chelating agents can sequester iron ions in the bloodstream, reducing their reactivity and toxicity.
The copper ions in the solution were successfully reduced to form a metallic copper deposit on the cathode.
Radio signals passing through the ionosphere experience changes in propagation due to the presence of ions and free electrons.
The metal ions bond with the surrounding ligands to create coordination complexes.
Salt disassociates into ions when dissolved, making it completely soluble in aquatic solutions.
