31. The original electron and the freed electron continue toward the anode and may create more positive ions . 32. Conversely, positive ions generated a downbeat mood. 33. Potassium is the major cation ( positive ion ) inside inwardly rectifying channels, from prokaryotes and eukaryotes. 34. These ions and electrons in turn strike more atoms, creating more positive ions in a chain reaction. 35. More advanced models of metal properties consider the effect of the positive ions cores on the delocalised electrons. 36. For ionic compounds, the positive ion is almost always listed first and the negative ion is listed second. 37. So if positive ions are excreted, an equal quantity of negative ions have to go along with them. 38. Positive ions have positive charge, so they tend to repel each other, which causes the beam to scatter.39. The cathode is inside the anode . ( 2 ) Positive ions are attracted to the inner cathode. 40. In addition, positive ions slowly drift westward and negative ions drift eastward, giving rise to a ring current.
