The action neutralizes charged molecules. Neutralization logic is described below through examples.
Example :
Action | Input | Output | Comment |
---|---|---|---|
Neutralize (neutralize ) |
Charges of non-metal atoms are set to zero and implicit hydrogensare added/removed to neutralize the molecule. | ||
Metal ions are not neutralized. | |||
Charged structures with counterions are neutralized if eachindividual entity can be neutralized separately. | |||
Charged structures with counterions are not neutralized if thetotal charge of the structure is zero, and the structure containsindividual entities which cannot be neutralized separately. | |||
If the molecule cannot be neutralized by charge manipulationand hydrogen addition/removal without violating valence rules,it remains unchanged. | |||
Mesomer structures with adjacent opposite charges remain intact. |
Note :
The action only operates through hydrogen manipulation, i.e. adds or removes hydrogens to create a neutral compound.
