The lasers needed for the magneto-optical trapping of rubidium 85: (a) & (b) show the absorption (red detuned to the dotted line) and spontaneous emission cycle, (c) & (d) are forbidden transitions, (e) shows that if the cooling laser excites an atom to the = state, it is allowed to decay to the "dark" lower hyperfine, F=2 state, which would ...
The MOT explains the paramagnetic nature of O 2, which valence bond theory cannot explain. In molecular orbital theory, electrons in a molecule are not assigned to individual chemical bonds between atoms , but are treated as moving under the influence of the atomic nuclei in the whole molecule. [ 1 ]
However, by removing one electron from dihelium, the stable gas-phase species He + 2 ion is formed with bond order 1/2. Another molecule that is precluded based on this principle is diberyllium. Beryllium has an electron configuration 1s 2 2s 2, so there are again two electrons in the valence level. However, the 2s can mix with the 2p orbitals ...
On the other hand, consider the hypothetical molecule of He 2 with the atoms labeled He' and He". As with H 2, the lowest energy atomic orbitals are the 1s' and 1s", and do not transform according to the symmetries of the molecule, while the symmetry adapted atomic orbitals do. The symmetric combination—the bonding orbital—is lower in ...
Henri Moissan's 1892 record of fluorine gas color, viewed end-on in a 5‑m tube. Air (1) is on the left, fluorine (2) is in the middle, chlorine (3) is on the right. Fluorine forms diatomic molecules (F 2) that are gaseous at room temperature with a density about 1.3 times that of air. [1] [note 1] Though sometimes cited as yellow-green, pure
2 KMnO 4 + 2 KF + 10 HF + 3 H 2 O 2 → 2 K 2 MnF 6 + 8 H 2 O + 3 O 2 ↑ 2 K 2 MnF 6 + 4 SbF 5 → 4 KSbF 6 + 2 MnF 3 + F 2 ↑. Christe later commented that the reactants "had been known for more than 100 years and even Moissan could have come up with this scheme." [178] As late as 2008, some references still asserted that fluorine was too ...
However there are numerous exceptions; for example the lightest exception is chromium, which would be predicted to have the configuration 1s 2 2s 2 2p 6 3s 2 3p 6 3d 4 4s 2, written as [Ar] 3d 4 4s 2, but whose actual configuration given in the table below is [Ar] 3d 5 4s 1.
