  2. Binding energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binding_energy

    Electron binding energy; Ionization energy Electron binding energy, more commonly known as ionization energy, [3] is a measure of the energy required to free an electron from its atomic orbital or from a solid. The electron binding energy derives from the electromagnetic interaction of the electron with the nucleus and the other electrons of ...

  3. Bond energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bond_energy

    The bond dissociation energy (enthalpy) [4] is also referred to as bond disruption energy, bond energy, bond strength, or binding energy (abbreviation: BDE, BE, or D). It is defined as the standard enthalpy change of the following fission: R—X → R + X. The BDE, denoted by Dº(R—X), is usually derived by the thermochemical equation,

  4. Electron affinity (data page) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_affinity_(data_page)

    First, as the energy that is released by adding an electron to an isolated gaseous atom. The second (reverse) definition is that electron affinity is the energy required to remove an electron from a singly charged gaseous negative ion. The latter can be regarded as the ionization energy of the –1 ion or the zeroth ionization energy. [1]

  5. Chemical bonding of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_bonding_of_water

    To further distinguish the electron energy differences between the two non-bonding orbitals, orbital mixing can be further performed between the 2p (3a 1) orbital on oxygen and the antibonding 4a 1 orbital since they are of the same symmetry and close in energy level. Mixing these two orbitals affords two new sets of orbitals as shown in the ...

  6. Quantum wire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_wire

    Instead, an exact calculation of the transverse energies of the confined electrons has to be performed to calculate a wire's resistance. Following from the quantization of electron energy, the electrical conductance (the inverse of the resistance) is found to be quantized in multiples of 2 e 2 / h {\displaystyle 2e^{2}/h} , where e ...

  7. Electron affinity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_affinity

    The electron affinity (E ea) of an atom or molecule is defined as the amount of energy released when an electron attaches to a neutral atom or molecule in the gaseous state to form an anion. X(g) + e − → X − (g) + energy. This differs by sign from the energy change of electron capture ionization. [1]

  8. Band gap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Band_gap

    It is the energy required to promote an electron from the valence band to the conduction band. The resulting conduction-band electron (and the electron hole in the valence band) are free to move within the crystal lattice and serve as charge carriers to conduct electric current. It is closely related to the HOMO/LUMO gap in chemistry. If the ...

  9. Water dimer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_dimer

    The ab initio binding energy between the two water molecules is estimated to be 5-6 kcal/mol, although values between 3 and 8 have been obtained depending on the method. . The experimentally measured dissociation energy (including nuclear quantum effects) of (H 2 O) 2 and (D 2 O) 2 are 3.16 ± 0.03 kcal/mol (13.22 ± 0.12 kJ/mol) [5] and 3.56 ± 0.03 kcal/mol (14.88 ± 0.12 kJ/mol), [6] respectiv
