Sentences with phrase «free electrons in an atom»

Not exact matches

For those who enjoy chemistry: Free radicals are an unpaired electron in orbit around the nucleus of an atom.

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.

The more intense a laser is, the easier should it be to ionise the atom — in other words, to tear the electrons away from the attracting electric field of their nucleus and free them into space.

«We thus wanted to know if, after the electrons are freed from their atoms, it is still possible to trap them in the laser and force them to stay near the nucleus, as the hypothesis of Walter Henneberger suggests,» he adds.

The chemical feature that enables this suppression is a bond between two oxygen atoms — an unstable peroxide bridge that releases a tiny barrage in the form of free radicals (unpaired electrons) that can fracture parasite proteins the way an F5 twister tears apart barns.

Despite existing in a solid and being surrounded by atoms, these electrons can sometimes behave just like free electrons, albeit with an «effective mass» that may be different than the free electron mass.

The images the STM generated in this experiment revealed bright, cross-shaped clouds of quasiparticles, electron excitation states that collectively act like a free electron, above the zinc atoms.

In silicon, the energy is lost as heat but in some other materials it is released as light whose wavelength depends on the energy difference between electrons bound to atoms in the semiconductor and those free to carry currenIn silicon, the energy is lost as heat but in some other materials it is released as light whose wavelength depends on the energy difference between electrons bound to atoms in the semiconductor and those free to carry currenin some other materials it is released as light whose wavelength depends on the energy difference between electrons bound to atoms in the semiconductor and those free to carry currenin the semiconductor and those free to carry current.

In particular, a charged molecule called hydronium, which has three hydrogen atoms and one oxygen ion, can transform into water (plus an independent hydrogen atom) if it captures a free - floating electron.

Normally, molecules are joined by strong covalent bonds in which the atoms share electrons, but in the chain they were instead linked by a freer mechanical bond.

Abstract: We have investigated multiphoton multiple ionization dynamics of argon and xenon atoms using a new x-ray free electron laser (XFEL) facility, SPring - 8 Angstrom Compact free electron LAser (SACLA) in Japan, and identified that highly charged Xe ions with the charge state up to +26 are produced predominantly via four - photon absorption as well as highly charged Ar ions with the charge state up to +10... ▽ More We have investigated multiphoton multiple ionization dynamics of argon and xenon atoms using a new x-ray free electron laser (XFEL) facility, SPring - 8 Angstrom Compact free electron LAser (SACLA) in Japan, and identified that highly charged Xe ions with the charge state up to +26 are produced predominantly via four - photon absorption as well as highly charged Ar ions with the charge state up to +10 are produced via two - photon absorption at a photon energy of 5.5 keV.

Free radicals are atoms, ions, or molecules that have at least one unpaired electron in their structure, with certain ions and complexes being an exception.

Healthy skin produces antioxidants that interfere with the process by which a free radical atom or molecule, which is missing an electron and is thus rendered unstable, attacks the nearest stable molecule and absconds with a replacement electron — a bit of thievery that results in damage to all components of a cell including DNA, proteins, lipids and its membrane.

Free radical is an atom or molecule that bears an unpaired electron and is extremely reactive, capable of engaging in rapid chain reactions that destabilize other molecules and generate many more free radicFree radical is an atom or molecule that bears an unpaired electron and is extremely reactive, capable of engaging in rapid chain reactions that destabilize other molecules and generate many more free radicfree radicals.

Healthy skin produces antioxidants that interfere with the process by which a free radical atom or molecule, which is missing an electron and is thus rendered unstable, attacks the nearest stable molecule to «steal» a replacement electron — a form of biological burglary that results in damage to all components of a cell including DNA, proteins, lipids and its membrane.
