Potassium ions are the most diffusible ion in the membrane potential because of the presence of leak channels that allow potassium to move easily across the membrane. This creates a concentration gradient that drives the movement of potassium ions into and out of the cell to establish the resting membrane potential.
The Nernst equation is used to calculate the equilibrium potential for a particular ion. It takes into account the ion concentrations inside and outside the cell, as well as the charge of the ion, to determine the membrane potential at which there is no net movement of that particular ion across the membrane.

I^- is the most common ion of Iodine.
The most common selenium ion is selenite, which has a chemical formula of SeO3^2-. This ion is commonly found in nature in minerals and in aqueous solutions.
Membrane potential is the difference in electric charge between the inside and outside of a cell membrane. Equilibrium potential is the membrane potential at which the electrical and concentration gradients of a specific ion are balanced, resulting in no net movement of that ion across the membrane.
The electric potential energy of an ion is the energy stored in the electric field surrounding the ion due to its charge. It is directly proportional to the ion's charge and the electric potential at the location of the ion. This energy can be calculated using the formula: U = qV, where U is the electric potential energy, q is the charge of the ion, and V is the electric potential at that point.
The Nernst potential refers to the reversal potential of the membrane potential at which there is no net flow of a particular number of ion from one side of the membrane to another.
The Nernst equation is used to calculate the equilibrium potential for a particular ion. It takes into account the ion concentrations inside and outside the cell, as well as the charge of the ion, to determine the membrane potential at which there is no net movement of that particular ion across the membrane.

The most common fluorine ion is fluoride (F-) ion.
I^- is the most common ion of Iodine.
Diffusion potential arises due to concentration differences of ions across a membrane without considering membrane permeability. Nernst potential, on the other hand, takes into account both concentration differences and membrane permeability for a specific ion to calculate the equilibrium potential at which the net flow of that ion is zero.
The most common ion for cesium is Cs+ (cesium ion). This ion has a charge of +1.
