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.
What is the electrical charge of a hydrogen atom? All atoms have no charge. Their charge is zero. Theyâre charge-neutral. There is exactly the same number of electrons and protons in an atom. Electrons have a charge of â[math]-e[/math]â and protons a charge of â[math]e[/math]â, where [math]e[/math] is the elementary charge and is [math]1.60217662 Ã 10^{-19}[/math] coulombs. So their charges cancel out.
