  2. Primary nutritional groups - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_nutritional_groups

    The sources of energy can be light or chemical compounds; the sources of carbon can be of organic or inorganic origin. [ 1 ] The terms aerobic respiration , anaerobic respiration and fermentation ( substrate-level phosphorylation ) do not refer to primary nutritional groups, but simply reflect the different use of possible electron acceptors in ...

  3. Electron ionization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_ionization

    The kinetic energy of the bombarding electrons should have higher energy than the ionization energy of the sample molecule. The electrons are accelerated to 70 eV in the region between the filament and the entrance to the ion source block. The sample under investigation which contains the neutral molecules is introduced to the ion source in a ...

  4. Lawson criterion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawson_criterion

    As originally formulated, the Lawson criterion gives a minimum required value for the product of the plasma (electron) density n e and the "energy confinement time" that leads to net energy output. Later analysis suggested that a more useful figure of merit is the triple product of density, confinement time, and plasma temperature T .

  5. Binding energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binding_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 the atom, molecule or solid and is mediated ...

  6. Electron donor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_donor

    The electron donating power of a donor molecule is measured by its ionization potential, which is the energy required to remove an electron from the highest occupied molecular orbital . The overall energy balance (ΔE), i.e., energy gained or lost, in an electron donor-acceptor transfer is determined by the difference between the acceptor's ...

  7. Chemical potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_potential

    Electrons in solids have a chemical potential, defined the same way as the chemical potential of a chemical species: The change in free energy when electrons are added or removed from the system. In the case of electrons, the chemical potential is usually expressed in energy per particle rather than energy per mole, and the energy per particle ...

  8. 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]

  9. Paschen's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paschen's_law

    If the electron is in an electric field of 43 MV/m, it will be accelerated and acquire 21.5 eV of energy in 0.5 μm of travel in the direction of the field. The first ionization energy needed to dislodge an electron from nitrogen molecule is about 15.6 eV. The accelerated electron will acquire more than enough energy to ionize a nitrogen molecule.
