Anatomy+ Chemistry List the 8 common ions in the human body and their charge. Identify each as a cation or anion.

Sodium ions - Na⁺ - cation

Potassium ions - K⁺ cation

Chloride ions - Cl⁻ anion

Magnesium ions - Mg²⁺ cation

Calcium ions - Ca²⁺ cation

Phosphate ions - P³⁻ anion

Iron ions - Fe²⁺ cation

Zinc ions - Zn⁺ cation

Explanation:

Following is a list of 8 common but essential ions in the cells and fluids of human bodies:

1. Sodium ions helps in regulation and control the level of body fluids

2. Potassium ions help regulate cellular functions

3. Calcium ions are essential for building and maintaining strength bones and teeth. and have role in blood clotting, muscle contraction, and the transmission of nerve signals to cells.

4. Chloride ions are the main anions found outside body cells. They acts as counterions

5. Magnesium ions  present in the bones

6. Phosphate ions present in body fluids act as the counterions.

7. Iron

8. Zinc

both adhesion and cohesion are attractions.

they are different in that adhesion is the force of attraction between the molecules of two different substances, whereas cohesion is the force of attraction between molecules of the same substance.

possible examples include capillary action, in which the adhesion between water and glass causes the water to rise in a narrow tube against the force of gravity.

because of hydrogen bonding, water is extremely cohesive.

this causes molecules on the surface of water to be drawn inward, which is why drops of water form beads on smooth surfaces.
