How to Evaluate Ionic Potential?

Ionic Potential evaluator uses Ionic Potential = Charge/Ionic Radius to evaluate the Ionic Potential, The Ionic Potential is the ratio of the electrical charge (z) to the radius (r) of an ion. The ionic potential gives an indication of how strongly, or weakly, the ion will be electrostatically attracted by ions of opposite charge; and to what extent the ion will be repelled by ions of the same charge. Ionic Potential is denoted by φ symbol.

How to evaluate Ionic Potential using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Ionic Potential, enter Charge (q) & Ionic Radius (rionic) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Ionic Potential

What is the formula to find Ionic Potential?
