Blood type (or blood group) is determined, in part, by the ABO blood group antigens present on red blood cells. A blood type (also called a blood group) is a classification of blood based on the presence or absence of inherited antigenic substances on the surface of red blood cells (RBCs).lood type (or blood group) is determined, in part, by the ABO blood group antigens present on red blood cells.

Ions form electrically neutral compounds because the number of cations (positively charged ions) is equal to the number of anions (negatively charged ions). These ions are held together by strong...

Many organic acids (e.g., formic acid) as well as other organic compounds dissociate in water forming ions. In addition, the resulting ions may form new species (called complexes, ion pairs, or organo-metallic complexes) by combining with metal ions. Many other organic compounds dissolve in water without dissociating.
