Some animal studies showed that using diets including soluble fiber (oat bran) helped eliminate the C-diff infection sooner than a diet with insoluble fiber (wheat bran). Foods high in soluble fiber include: oats and oat bran, oatmeal, beans, peas, carrots, barley, citrus fruits, strawberries and apple pulp.
Similarly, it is easier for oxygen to gain 2 electrons instead of loosing 6 electrons: Oxygen Ion. The two gained electrons (purple dots) means that this oxygen ion has 10 electrons (-10 charge) and only 8 protons (+8 charge), giving the ion a net charge of -2. Symbolically, we can represent this oxygen ion as O -2.
For example, a water molecule is made. up of two hydrogen atoms bonded to one oxygen atom. The oxygen atom attracts electrons more strongly than. the hydrogen atoms do. Thus, the electrons spend more. time near the oxygen atom. This gives each hydrogen. atom a partial positive charge (D+) and the oxygen atom a. partial negative charge (Dâ). Molecules that have partially charged positive and.
