How can the behavior of an element in it's environment be predicted from it's ionic potential?

Victor Moritz Goldschmidt, the father of modern geo-chemistry found that the behavior of an element in it's environment could be predicted from it's ionic potential and illustrated this with a diagram (plot of the bare ionic radius as a function of the ionic charge).
The ionic potential of the different cations (Na+, K+, Mg2+ and Ca2+) present in the interlayer of clay minerals also contribute to explain their swelling/shrinking properties. The more hydrated cations such as Na+ and Mg2+ are responsible for the swelling of smectite while the less hydrated K+ and Ca2+ cause the collapse of the interlayer. In illite, the interlayer is totally collapsed because of the presence of the poorly hydrated K+
. Ionic potential is also a measure of the polarising power of a cation. Ionic potential could be used as a general criterion for the selection of efficient adsorbents for toxic elements.

How to Calculate Ionic Potential?

Ionic Potential calculator uses Ionic Potential = Charge/Ionic Radius to calculate 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 calculate Ionic Potential using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Ionic Potential, enter Charge (q) & Ionic Radius (r_ionic) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Ionic Potential calculation can be explained with given input values -> 300000 = 0.3/1E-06.

FAQ

What is 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 and is represented as φ = q/r_ionic or Ionic Potential = Charge/Ionic Radius. A Charge is the fundamental property of forms of matter that exhibit electrostatic attraction or repulsion in the presence of other matter & The Ionic Radius is the radius of a monatomic ion in an ionic crystal structure.

How to calculate 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 is calculated using Ionic Potential = Charge/Ionic Radius. To calculate Ionic Potential, you need Charge (q) & Ionic Radius (r_ionic). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Charge & Ionic Radius and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
