The Molten Salts and Ionic Liquids Discussion Group (MSILDG) is one of the RSC's many Interest Groups. The Interest Groups are member driven groups which exist to benefit RSC members, and the wider ...

Ionic liquids are salts with melting points below 100 oC and are therefore liquids at lower temperatures than other salts. The materials can have useful physical properties, such as low or non ...

A little water helps expose the sodium so it can react with the chlorine gas. The reaction releases a lot of heat as the ionic compound sodium chloride is formed. A sodium and chlorine atom are near ...

They are salts made from the alkaline hydrolysis of ... of a long non-polar covalent hydrocarbon ‘tail’ and a polar, ionic ‘head’ where the charge is. This structure explains the cleansing ...

a single grain of salt may contain 1.2 × 10 18 (1,200,000,000,000,000,000) ions. The lattice arrangement continues in three dimensions. This is why solid ionic compounds form crystals with ...

This award is given to individuals in light of their significant contribution to the understanding and development of Molten Salts / Ionic Liquids Science and Technology. The winners of the award are ...
