Variables
Functions
Ionic Radius
The Ionic Radius is the radius of a monatomic ion in an ionic crystal structure.
Symbol: rionic
Measurement: LengthUnit: A
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Ionic Charge
The Ionic Charge is the electrical charge of an ion, created by the gain (negative charge) or loss (positive charge) of one or more electrons from an atom or group of atoms.
Symbol: z
Measurement: Electric ChargeUnit: C
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Polarising Power
Polarising Power can be defined as the ability of a cation to attract the electron cloud towards itself. Polarising power is proportional to charge/size.
Symbol: P
Measurement: PowerUnit: W
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
sqrt
A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number.
Syntax: sqrt(Number)
