Nitrogen gas is an industrial gas produced by the fractional distillation of liquid air, or by mechanical means using gaseous air (pressurised reverse osmosis membrane or pressure swing adsorption). Nitrogen gas generators using membranes or pressure swing adsorption (PSA) are typically more cost and energy efficient than bulk-delivered ...
As a result of a full shell, the noble gases can be used in conjunction with the electron configuration notation to form the noble gas notation. To do this, the nearest noble gas that precedes the element in question is written first, and then the electron configuration is continued from that point forward. For example, the electron notation of ...
Here [Ne] refers to the core electrons which are the same as for the element neon (Ne), the last noble gas before phosphorus in the periodic table. The valence electrons (here 3s 2 3p 3) are written explicitly for all atoms.
These are notations for describing states of singly excited atoms, especially noble gas atoms. Racah notation is basically a combination of LS or Russell–Saunders coupling and J 1 L 2 coupling. LS coupling is for a parent ion and J 1 L 2 coupling is for a coupling of the parent ion and the excited electron. The parent ion is an unexcited part ...
Nitrogen-15 is frequently used in NMR (Nitrogen-15 NMR spectroscopy). Unlike the more abundant nitrogen-14, which has an integer nuclear spin and thus a quadrupole moment, 15 N has a fractional nuclear spin of one-half, which offers advantages for NMR such as narrower line width. Nitrogen-15 tracing is a technique used to study the nitrogen cycle.
The 1-18 system is based on each atom's s, p and d electrons beyond those in atoms of the preceding noble gas. Two older incompatible naming schemes can assign the same number to different groups depending on the system being used.
While noble gases are chemically very inert and commonly exist as individual atoms, this is not the case for nitrogen and phosphorus and so the formation of the endohedral complexes N@C 60, N@C 70 and P@C 60 is more surprising. The nitrogen atom is in its electronic initial state (4 S 3/2) and is highly reactive.
Structure of a noble-gas atom caged within a buckminsterfullerene (C 60) molecule. Noble gases can also form endohedral fullerene compounds where the noble gas atom is trapped inside a fullerene molecule. In 1993, it was discovered that when C 60 is exposed to a pressure of around 3 bar of He or Ne, the complexes He@C 60 and Ne@C 60 are formed ...
