  2. Orbital ring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_ring

    An orbital ring is a concept of an artificial ring placed around a body and set rotating at such a rate that the apparent centrifugal force is large enough to counteract the force of gravity. For the Earth , the required speed is on the order of 10 km/sec, compared to a typical low Earth orbit velocity of 8 km/sec.

  3. Particle in a ring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle_in_a_ring

    The case of a particle in a one-dimensional ring is an instructive example when studying the quantization of angular momentum for, say, an electron orbiting the nucleus. The azimuthal wave functions in that case are identical to the energy eigenfunctions of the particle on a ring.

    3) are considered examples of a two π electron system, which are stabilized relative to the open system, despite the angle strain imposed by the 60° bond angles. [11] [12] Planar ring molecules with 4n π electrons do not obey Hückel's rule, and theory predicts that they are less stable and have triplet ground states with two unpaired ...

  5. Megastructure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megastructure

    An orbital ring is a dynamically elevated ring placed around the Earth that rotates at an angular rate that is faster than orbital velocity at that altitude, stationary platforms can be supported by the excess centripetal acceleration of the super-orbiting ring (similar in principle to a Launch loop), and ground-tethers can be supported from ...

  6. Electron configuration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_configuration

    For example, the electron configuration of the neon atom is 1s 2 2s 2 2p 6, meaning that the 1s, 2s, and 2p subshells are occupied by two, two, and six electrons, respectively. Electronic configurations describe each electron as moving independently in an orbital, in an average field created by the nuclei and all the other electrons.

    Selecting the perfect engagement ring isn't simply about the brilliance or the size of the diamond, it's also about the meaning behind the ring shape. Many shoppers wonder, "What does each diamond ...

  8. Atomic orbital - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_orbital

    For example, the orbital 1s (pronounced as the individual numbers and letters: "'one' 'ess'") is the lowest energy level (n = 1) and has an angular quantum number of ℓ = 0, denoted as s. Orbitals with ℓ = 1, 2 and 3 are denoted as p, d and f respectively.

    A Florida man accused of a hate crime for killing a gay man is asking a judge to dismiss the charges, saying he acted in self-defense.
