in a way that relates to or involves anions — negatively charged ions that are attracted to the positive electrode (the anode) in an electric field; used especially to describe how a substance behaves, bonds, or interacts at the molecular level in chemical processes.
The polymer chain is anionically charged, which allows it to bind strongly to metal surfaces.
anionically charged — describes electrical polarity of a substance
In this reaction, the intermediate species behaves anionically and attracts nearby positive ions.
The research team found that the compound polymerizes anionically when exposed to a strong base.
Dr. Okonkwo demonstrated that the catalyst works anionically, transferring charge through the solution.
The laboratory report confirmed that the soil sample had been anionically contaminated by industrial runoff.
- negatively
more general; does not specify that the charge comes specifically from anions
- cationically
describes behavior relating to positively charged ions (cations) rather than anions
文法句型
anionically + adjective (e.g. anionically charged)
anionically + verb (e.g. behave anionically)

in a way that is characterized by the presence of an active, especially surface-active, anion — used to describe detergents, soaps, and cleaning agents where the negatively charged part of the molecule is responsible for reducing surface tension and lifting dirt.
Most laundry detergents are anionically active, meaning their cleaning power comes from negatively charged surfactant molecules.
anionically active — describes how a surfactant works
