  2. Electron configuration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_configuration

    The energy associated to an electron is that of its orbital. The energy of a configuration is often approximated as the sum of the energy of each electron, neglecting the electron-electron interactions. The configuration that corresponds to the lowest electronic energy is called the ground state. Any other configuration is an excited state.

  3. Energy level - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_level

    If it is at a higher energy level, it is said to be excited, or any electrons that have higher energy than the ground state are excited. Such a species can be excited to a higher energy level by absorbing a photon whose energy is equal to the energy difference between the levels. Conversely, an excited species can go to a lower energy level by ...

  4. Trisulfur - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trisulfur

    In terms of structure and bonding S 3 and ozone (O 3) are similar. Both adopt bent structures and are diamagnetic. Although represented with S=S double bonds, the bonding situation is more complex. [1] The S–S distances are equivalent and are 191.70 ± 0.01 pm, and with an angle at the central atom of 117.36° ± 0.006°. [2]

  5. Electronic band structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_band_structure

    To understand how band structure changes relative to the Fermi level in real space, a band structure plot is often first simplified in the form of a band diagram. In a band diagram the vertical axis is energy while the horizontal axis represents real space. Horizontal lines represent energy levels, while blocks represent energy bands.

  6. Atomic orbital - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_orbital

    Niels Bohr was the first to propose (1923) that the periodicity in the properties of the elements might be explained by the periodic filling of the electron energy levels, resulting in the electronic structure of the atom. [36] The periodic table may also be divided into several numbered rectangular 'blocks'.

  7. Electron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron

    To escape the atom, the energy of the electron must be increased above its binding energy to the atom. This occurs, for example, with the photoelectric effect, where an incident photon exceeding the atom's ionization energy is absorbed by the electron. [124]: 127–132 The orbital angular momentum of electrons is quantized. Because the electron ...

  8. Band diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Band_diagram

    While a basic band diagram only shows electron energy levels, often a band diagram will be decorated with further features. It is common to see cartoon depictions of the motion in energy and position of an electron (or electron hole) as it drifts, is excited by a light source, or relaxes from an excited state. The band diagram may be shown ...

  9. Electron configurations of the elements (data page) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_configurations_of...

    This book contains predicted electron configurations for the elements up to 172, as well as 184, based on relativistic Dirac–Fock calculations by B. Fricke in Fricke, B. (1975). Dunitz, J. D.
