Sep 23, 2004 · 1.1 Electroneutrality Nature seems to strongly discourage any process that would lead to an excess of positive or negative charge in matter. Suppose, for example, that we immerse a piece of zinc metal in pure water. A small number of zinc atoms go into solution as Zn ions, leaving their electrons behind in the metal: Zn(s) → Zn 2+ + 2 e–
