  2. Anode ray - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anode_ray

    An anode ray (also positive ray or canal ray) is a beam of positive ions that is created by certain types of gas-discharge tubes. They were first observed in Crookes tubes during experiments by the German scientist Eugen Goldstein, in 1886. [1] Later work on anode rays by Wilhelm Wien and J. J. Thomson led to the development of mass spectrometry.

  3. Crookes tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crookes_tube

    Crookes X-ray tube from around 1910 Another Crookes x-ray tube. The device attached to the neck of the tube (right) is an "osmotic softener". When the voltage applied to a Crookes tube is high enough, around 5,000 volts or greater, [16] it can accelerate the electrons to a high enough velocity to create X-rays when they hit the anode or the glass wall of the tube.

  4. Carbon–nitrogen bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonnitrogen_bond

    A carbonnitrogen bond is a covalent bond between carbon and nitrogen and is one of the most abundant bonds in organic chemistry and biochemistry. [ 1 ] Nitrogen has five valence electrons and in simple amines it is trivalent , with the two remaining electrons forming a lone pair .

  5. Ives–Stilwell experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ives–Stilwell_experiment

    In the experiment, Ives and Stilwell used hydrogen discharge tubes as the source of canal rays which consisted primarily of positive H 2 + and H 3 + ions. (Free H + ions were present in too small an amount to be usable, since they quickly combined with H 2 molecules to form H 3 + ions.)

  6. Cathode-ray tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathode-ray_tube

    When the electrons strike the shadow mask, they release their energy as heat and x-rays. If the electrons have too much energy due to an anode voltage that is too high for example, the shadow mask can warp due to the heat, which can also happen during the Lehr baking at ~435 °C of the frit seal between the faceplate and the funnel of the CRT.

  7. CNO cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNO_cycle

    The positrons will almost instantly annihilate with electrons, releasing energy in the form of gamma rays. The neutrinos escape from the star carrying away some energy. [2] One nucleus goes on to become carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen isotopes through a number of transformations in a repeating cycle. Overview of the CNO-I Cycle

  8. Electron crystallography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_crystallography

    This is especially troublesome in the setting of electron crystallography, where that radiation damage is focused on far fewer atoms. One technique used to limit radiation damage is electron cryomicroscopy, in which the samples undergo cryofixation and imaging takes place at liquid nitrogen or even liquid helium temperatures. Because of this ...

  9. Isotopes of nitrogen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_nitrogen

    Nitrogen-13 and oxygen-15 are produced in the atmosphere when gamma rays (for example from lightning) knock neutrons out of nitrogen-14 and oxygen-16: 14 N + γ → 13 N + n 16 O + γ → 15 O + n. The nitrogen-13 produced as a result decays with a half-life of 9.965(4) min to carbon-13, emitting a positron.
