Homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures settle, or separate. As a homogeneous mixture, a solution has one phase (liquid) although the solute and solvent can vary: for example, salt water. Air can be more specifically described as a gaseous solution (oxygen and other gases dissolved in the major component, nitrogen). Since interactions between molecules play almost no role, dilute gases form rather trivial solutions. In part of the literature, they are not even classified as solutions. In gas intermolecular space is greatest and intermolecular force of attraction is least. In chemistry, a mixture is a substance containing two or more elements or compounds that are not
Gas-phase ion chemistry of charge-transfer reactions (also known as charge-permutation reactions): partial-charge transfer charge-stripping reaction and charge-inversion reaction positive to negative and negative to positive Pairwise interactions between alkali metal ions and amino acids, small peptides and nucleobases have been studied theoretically in some detail. Gas-phase ion chemistry Gas phase ion chemistry is a field of science encompassed within both chemistry and physics. It is the science that studies ions and molecules in the gas phase, most often enabled by some form of mass spectrometry. By far the most important applications for this science is in studying the thermodynamics and kinetics of reactions.
