includes ionic solutions

Authored explanation

Electrolyte solutions contain mobile ions and require charge-neutral, electrostatic, and speciation constraints.

How to interpret this relation type

The target is a member or subtype of the broader source class.

forms ionic conduction path

Authored explanation

Electrochemical cells require an ion-conducting medium and electronic paths while controlling mixing and junction potentials.

How to interpret this relation type

The source is a material constituent, structural component, or underlying quantum field whose excitation realizes the target physical system or particle. The edge label and detail must distinguish composition from field excitation; neither implies a simple classical sum of parts.

Authored annotation
has charge-weighted composition

Authored explanation

The ionic strength of an electrolyte solution depends on the concentrations and charges of all dissolved ions, including ions from background electrolyte and acid-base or complexation equilibria.

How to interpret this relation type

The target represents a state, property, observable, or state-dependent description associated with the source system or theory.
