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.
Now: oxygen must gain two electrons in order to have a total of 8 electrons in its valence shell. Sodium must lose one in order to get 8 electrons in its valence shell. Si â¦ nce the overall charges must cancel out, two sodium atoms are required for every one oxygen atom in this particular process, so your chemical formula for the resultant compound will be Na2O.
