  2. Heat of combustion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_of_combustion

    energy/mole of fuel; energy/mass of fuel; energy/volume of the fuel; There are two kinds of enthalpy of combustion, called high(er) and low(er) heat(ing) value, depending on how much the products are allowed to cool and whether compounds like H 2 O are allowed to condense. The high heat values are conventionally measured with a bomb calorimeter ...

  3. Rydberg constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rydberg_constant

    The hydrogen spectral series can be expressed simply in terms of the Rydberg constant for hydrogen and the Rydberg formula. In atomic physics , Rydberg unit of energy , symbol Ry, corresponds to the energy of the photon whose wavenumber is the Rydberg constant, i.e. the ionization energy of the hydrogen atom in a simplified Bohr model.

  4. Degenerate energy levels - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degenerate_energy_levels

    The energy levels in the hydrogen atom depend only on the principal quantum number n. For a given n , all the states corresponding to ℓ = 0 , … , n − 1 {\displaystyle \ell =0,\ldots ,n-1} have the same energy and are degenerate.

  5. Energy density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_density

    Given the high energy density of gasoline, the exploration of alternative media to store the energy of powering a car, such as hydrogen or battery, is strongly limited by the energy density of the alternative medium. The same mass of lithium-ion storage, for example, would result in a car with only 2% the range of its gasoline counterpart.

  6. Bohr radius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohr_radius

    In Schrödinger's quantum-mechanical theory of the hydrogen atom, the Bohr radius is the value of the radial coordinate for which the radial probability density of the electron position is highest. The expected value of the radial distance of the electron, by contrast, is ⁠ 3 2 a 0 {\displaystyle {\tfrac {3}{2}}a_{0}} ⁠ .

  7. 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.

  8. Rydberg formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rydberg_formula

    Rydberg's formula as it appears in a November 1888 record. In atomic physics, the Rydberg formula calculates the wavelengths of a spectral line in many chemical elements.The formula was primarily presented as a generalization of the Balmer series for all atomic electron transitions of hydrogen.

  9. Hydrogen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen

    Hydrogen is a chemical element; it has symbol H and atomic number 1. It is the lightest element and, at standard conditions, is a gas of diatomic molecules with the formula H 2, sometimes called dihydrogen, [11] hydrogen gas, molecular hydrogen, or simply hydrogen. It is colorless, odorless, [12] non-toxic, and highly combustible.
