A condensation polymer formed by the linking of nucleotides. A carbohydrate made by polymerizing many monosaccharide units. The electrode in an electrochemical cell that carries a positive charge. In an electrolytic cell, it is the anode . In a voltaic cell, it is the cathode .
Positrons have the same mass as electrons but the opposite charge.
A nuclear reaction in which a positron is emitted. Positron emission leads to a decrease by one in the atomic number and no change in the mass number of the nuclide. A measure of the driving force behind an electrochemical reaction that is reported in units of volts. A process in which positive and negative ions combine to form a salt that precipitates out of the solution as a solid. The force exerted on a surface divided by the area of the surface.
