[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 675081, member: 19522"] You know what fascinates me,[I] naming the then unknown,[/I] so, I guess it was an appropriate name, once it became known? Or do they even really know? Word Origin C19: from Greek, literally: going, from ienai to go [SIZE=5][B]-ion[/B][/SIZE] suffix 1. indicating an action, process, or state: creation,objection Compare [URL='http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/-ation']-ation[/URL], [URL='http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/-tion']-tion[/URL] Word Origin and History for ion n. 1834, introduced by English physicist and chemistMichael Faraday (suggested by the Rev. WilliamWhewell, English polymath), coined from Greek ion,neuter present participle of ienai "go," from PIE root*ei- "to go, to walk" (cf. Greek eimi "I go;" Latin ire"to go," iter "a way;" Old Irish ethaim "I go;" Irishbothar "a road" (from *bou-itro- "cows' way"), Gaulisheimu "we go," Gothic iddja "went," Sanskrit e'ti"goes," imas "we go," ayanam "a going, way;"Avestan ae'iti "goes;" Old Persian aitiy "goes;"Lithuanian eiti "to go;" Old Church Slavonic iti "go;"Bulgarian ida "I go;" Russian idti "to go"). So called because ions move toward the electrode of opposite charge. So, Copa's use of the term "for ions", is appropriate, Copa, you are a genius. For eons is an indefinite long period of time, but ions- more indicative of what goes on with the [I]unseen.[/I] Even Cedars fascination with music and conductors........ a lightening rod is a conductor .... from-http://[URL="http://www.physicsclassroom.com/class/estatics/Lesson-4/Lightning"]www.physicsclassroom.com/class/estatics/Lesson-4/Lightning[/URL] " It is indeed true that the tip of a lightning rod is capable of[I][B] ionizing [/B][/I]the surrounding air and making it more conductive." I am in the presence of true geniuses. There is this wonderful connectivity to everything in the universe. humbly yours..... leafy [/QUOTE]
