Ionic Equation: An ionic equation is a balanced chemical equation in which strong electrolytes are written as dissociated ions. For example, Ag+(aq) + NO3-(aq) + Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq) = agcl(s) + Na+(aq) + NO3- . . . View Full Definition

Ionic Dissociation: When ionic substances dissolve, their ions are surrounded by solvent molecules and separated from each other. This phenomena is also called ionization.

Ionic Bond: A chemical bond in which atoms of opposite charge are held together by electrostatic attraction.

Ionic Radius: The radii of anions and cations in crystalline ionic compounds, as determined by consistently partitioning the center-to-center distance of ions in those compounds.

Net Ionic Equation: A net ionic equation is an ionic equation with all DEFINE[spectator ions'>spectator ions eliminated. For example, Ag+(aq) + NO3-(aq) + Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq) = agcl(s) + Na+(aq) + NO3-(aq) is an . . . View Full Definition

Chorionic Villi Sampling (CVS): A method of prenatal testing in which fetal cells from the fetal side of the placenta (chorionic villi) are extracted and analyzed for chromosomal and biochemical defects.

Complete Ionic Equation: A balanced equation that describes a reaction occurring in solution, in which all strong electrolytes are written as dissociated ions.

Ionic Compound: A compound made of distinguishable cations and anions, held together by electrostatic forces.

Thermionic Emission: The emission of electrons or ions by a hot object. For example, the filament in a mass spectrometer spits out energetic electrons that ionize atoms and molecules in the sample.
