  2. Paschen's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paschen's_law

    For example, in air, at a pressure of one atmosphere, the distance for minimal breakdown voltage is about 7.5 μm. The voltage required to arc this distance is 327 V, which is insufficient to ignite the arcs for gaps that are either wider or narrower. For a 3.5 μm gap, the required voltage is 533 V, nearly twice as much.

  3. Monatomic gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monatomic_gas

    One mole of atoms contains an Avogadro number of atoms, so that the energy of one mole of atoms of a monatomic gas is =, where R is the gas constant. In an adiabatic process , monatomic gases have an idealised γ -factor ( C p / C v ) of 5/3, as opposed to 7/5 for ideal diatomic gases where rotation (but not vibration at room temperature) also ...

    Monoatomic (composed of one atom). Examples include He , Ne , Ar , and Kr . All noble gases are monoatomic. Diatomic (composed of two atoms). Examples include H 2 , N 2 , O 2 , F 2 , and Cl 2 . Halogens are usually diatomic. Triatomic (composed of three atoms). Examples include O 3 .

    At 37.4 volts two distinct glows will be visible: one midway between the cathode and grid, and one right at the accelerating grid. Higher potentials, spaced at 18.7 volt intervals, will result in additional glowing regions in the tube. An additional advantage of neon for instructional laboratories is that the tube can be used at room temperature.

  7. Molecular Hamiltonian - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_Hamiltonian

    The elementary parts of a molecule are the nuclei, characterized by their atomic numbers, Z, and the electrons, which have negative elementary charge, −e. Their interaction gives a nuclear charge of Z + q, where q = −eN, with N equal to the number of electrons. Electrons and nuclei are, to a very good approximation, point charges and point ...

  8. Energy level - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_level

    In chemistry and atomic physics, an electron shell, or principal energy level, may be thought of as the orbit of one or more electrons around an atom's nucleus. The closest shell to the nucleus is called the "1 shell" (also called "K shell"), followed by the "2 shell" (or "L shell"), then the "3 shell" (or "M shell"), and so on further and ...

    The Sackur–Tetrode constant, written S 0 /R, is equal to S/k B N evaluated at a temperature of T = 1 kelvin, at standard pressure (100 kPa or 101.325 kPa, to be specified), for one mole of an ideal gas composed of particles of mass equal to the atomic mass constant (m u = 1.660 539 068 92 (52) × 10 −27 kg ‍ [5]).
