hydrataatiokuoria
Hydrataatiokuoria, also known as hydration shells, are a theoretical concept in physical chemistry that describes a layer of solvent molecules surrounding a solute particle, such as an ion or a molecule. This layer of solvent molecules forms due to attractive forces between the solvent and the solute. The extent and nature of this hydration shell depend on the properties of both the solute and the solvent. For instance, polar solutes in polar solvents tend to form well-defined hydration shells.
The formation of hydration shells plays a crucial role in many chemical and biological processes. In aqueous
The study of hydration shells is important for understanding properties like solution viscosity, conductivity, and reaction
