  2. Saha ionization equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saha_ionization_equation

    In physics, the Saha ionization equation is an expression that relates the ionization state of a gas in thermal equilibrium to the temperature and pressure. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The equation is a result of combining ideas of quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics and is used to explain the spectral classification of stars.

  3. 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.

  4. Plasma parameters - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_parameters

    All quantities are in Gaussian units except energy and temperature which are in electronvolts.For the sake of simplicity, a single ionic species is assumed. The ion mass is expressed in units of the proton mass, = / and the ion charge in units of the elementary charge, = / (in the case of a fully ionized atom, equals to the respective atomic number).

  5. Neon compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neon_compounds

    Neon has a high first ionization potential of 21.564 eV, which is only exceeded by that of helium (24.587 eV), requiring too much energy to make stable ionic compounds. Neon's polarisability of 0.395 Å 3 is the second lowest of any element (only helium's is more extreme).

  6. Charge number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge_number

    Atomic numbers (Z) are a special case of charge numbers, referring to the charge number of an atomic nucleus, as opposed to the net charge of an atom or ion. The charge numbers for ions (and also subatomic particles ) are written in superscript, e.g., Na + is a sodium ion with charge number positive one (an electric charge of one elementary ...

  7. Buckingham potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckingham_potential

    Buckingham proposed this as a simplification of the Lennard-Jones potential, in a theoretical study of the equation of state for gaseous helium, neon and argon. [1] As explained in Buckingham's original paper and, e.g., in section 2.2.5 of Jensen's text, [2] the repulsion is due to the interpenetration of the closed electron shells.

    In 2023, the first full year of the credit, EV sales jumped 46% year over year to 1.19 million, compared to 813,000 in 2022, according to Cox’s Kelly Blue Book.

  9. Ionic potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionic_potential

    As such, this ratio is a measure of the charge density at the surface of the ion; usually the denser the charge, the stronger the bond formed by the ion with ions of opposite charge. [2] The ionic potential gives an indication of how strongly, or weakly, the ion will be electrostatically attracted by ions of opposite charge; and to what extent ...
