Sentences with phrase «between hydrogen and oxygen»

The researchers discovered that the unique manner in which the platinum and nickel atoms arrange themselves on the surfaces of these particles serves to optimally accelerate the chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen to form water.

Meyer, based at Grove City in Ohio, says that these electrically polarised conditions strain and break the covalent chemical bond between hydrogen and oxygen, liberating the two gases.

At altitudes above 50 kilometers, ultraviolet light from the sun easily penetrates the Red Planet's thin atmosphere and breaks down water's chemical bonds between hydrogen and oxygen.

Like water, it is held together by the powerful bonds between hydrogen and oxygen atoms, so ethanol can not travel through most petroleum pipelines.

Not exact matches

The substance, which consists of a fluid of hydrogen ions running through a lattice of oxygen, was formed by compressing water between two diamonds and then zapping it with a laser.

There are basically two types of lines, those produced by collisions between the atoms or ions and the electrons in the surrounding gas, which are called collision lines, and which are very bright for elements such as oxygen, nitrogen and neon, and lines which are produced when ions capture free electrons, which are called recombination lines, and which are bright only for those gases with the highest abundances in the interstellar medium: hydrogen and helium.

They make good fuels because the energy stored in the bonds between carbon and hydrogen is abundant and easy to release in combustion with oxygen.

Of the two types of atom, oxygen has more pull on the electrons that they share to form the bonds between them, so the oxygen becomes slightly negatively charged and the hydrogens slightly positive.

Two - way fuel cells Meanwhile, Versa, a solid oxide fuel cell stack supplier, is working with Boeing and «a large European company» on an innovative reversible SOFC that cycles back and forth between providing power and electrolyzing water into hydrogen and oxygen, Stokes says.

The liquid hydrogen / oxygen (LH2 / LOX) fuel can be used to fill the tanks of manned vehicles travelling between Earth and Mars.

Hope will probe the link between processes in the lower atmosphere, which contains most of the martian atmosphere's water vapor, and the escape of hydrogen and oxygen from the upper atmosphere.

The link between energy and water is not always apparent, but the two are as intertwined as the hydrogen and oxygen atoms in a bottle of Evian.

These liberated heavier elements, which astronomers call «metals» (even oxygen is a metal in astronomer - speak), contaminated the hydrogen and helium drifting between the stars.

It's called non-molecular ice, because the water molecule is broken apart and the hydrogen atoms are shared between neighboring oxygens.

But it wasn't until 1929 that William H. Barnes, working in Bragg the elder's lab at London's Royal Institution, showed that ice formed under natural conditions had a structure with the oxygens arranged in a planar hexagon and the hydrogens located between the oxygens.

The polymer and the agent form hydrogen bonds, weak electrostatic connections between polymer's hydrogen and an agent's oxygen atom.

To oversimplify a bit, the difference between baking and washing sodas is water and carbon dioxide, but then again, the difference between water and hydrogen peroxide is just an oxygen group and it certainly isn't recommended to drink one of those!

A chemical reaction between oxygen and hydrogen produces the electric power, and when the transportation fuel is pure hydrogen, the only resulting emission is water vapor.

The Mirai is powered by a fuel cell which generates electricity from a chemical reaction between atmospheric Hydrogen and Oxygen.

But when their temperature is lowered and they form a water molecule, the symmetry of the individual atoms is broken as they form a molecule with 105 degrees between the hydrogen - oxygen bonds.
