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.
The greater the electronegativity difference between atoms in a bond, the more polar the bond. Partial negative charges are found on the most electronegative atoms, the others are partially positive.In general, the presence of an oxygen is more polar than a nitrogen because oxygen is more electronegative than nitrogen.artial negative charges are found on the most electronegative atoms, the others are partially positive.
