  2. Neon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neon

    Neon is a colorless, odorless, inert monatomic gas under standard conditions, with approximately two-thirds the density of air. Neon was discovered in 1898 alongside krypton and xenon, identified as one of the three remaining rare inert elements in dry air after the removal of nitrogen, oxygen, argon, and carbon dioxide.

  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 ...

  4. Atomicity (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomicity_(chemistry)

    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 .

  5. Elementary charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_charge

    Charge quantization is the principle that the charge of any object is an integer multiple of the elementary charge. Thus, an object's charge can be exactly 0 e, or exactly 1 e, −1 e, 2 e, etc., but not ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ e, or −3.8 e, etc. (There may be exceptions to this statement, depending on how "object" is defined; see below.)

  6. Paschen's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paschen's_law

    Such so-called seed electrons can be created by ionization by natural radioactivity or cosmic rays. The creation of further free electrons is only achieved by impact ionization. Thus Paschen's law is not valid if there are external electron sources. This can, for example, be a light source creating secondary electrons by the photoelectric ...

  7. Charge number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge_number

    One example is that someone can use the charge of an ion to find the oxidation number of a monatomic ion. For example, the oxidation number of + is +1. This helps when trying to solve oxidation questions. A charge number also can help when drawing Lewis dot structures. For example, if the structure is an ion, the charge will be included outside ...

  8. Noble gas compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noble_gas_compound

    Under these conditions, only about one out of every 650,000 C 60 cages was doped with a helium atom; with higher pressures (3000 bar), it is possible to achieve a yield of up to 0.1%. Endohedral complexes with argon , krypton and xenon have also been obtained, as well as numerous adducts of He@C 60 .

  9. Principal quantum number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principal_quantum_number

    Lithium through Neon (see periodic table) have two shells: two electrons in the first shell, and up to 8 in the second shell. Larger atoms have more shells. The principal quantum number is one of four quantum numbers assigned to each electron in an atom to describe the quantum state of the electron.
