atomic shell

One runs a nuclear reactor; let's put in atomic shells.

Burl saw just what a hand-sized, tactical atomic shell looked like and how it worked.

They are obtained by head-on overlapping of atomic shells.

These can be created only by temperatures capable of ripping more electrons from their atomic shells than is ordinarily possible.

But atomic shells are tactical, Charlie.

On the firing days, yellow helicopters scoured the range for warheads and the striped dummy atomic shells.

I knew that, in theory, an atomic shell could not be exploded by fire, but did that extend to the temperatures at which hydrogen burned?

Since the two electrons collectively assume the highest value of the "allowed" quantum numbers the atomic shelled is said to be "filled".

'He would have claimed to have stolen atomic shells.'

'They've got atomic shells in that store.'

The complete octet (eight electrons) in the outer atomic shell makes argon stable and resistant to bonding with other elements.

In the narrow gap between the atomic shells, because of resonance effects, only certain types of particles would be permitted to ex- ist.

'Atomic shells!'

In hydrogen-like atoms all degenerate orbitals of fixed n and l, m and s varying between certain values (see below) form an atomic shell.

Pinkerton said sternly, and from all sides washed a wave of atomic shells, gouts of flame, bullets, and grenades.

'Shells, atomic shells!'

A second reason is that the only detectable particles created in this process are X-rays and Auger electrons that are emitted by the excited atomic shell.

The atomic shells of the knife's point and edges had been shrunk in a magnetic forging process more rigorous than that which contains the plasma in a fusion plant.

The shell model is partly analogous to the atomic shell model which describes the arrangement of electrons in an atom, in that a filled shell results in greater stability.

The characteristic color of copper results from the electronic transitions between the filled 3d and half-empty 4s atomic shells - the energy difference between these shells is such that it corresponds to orange light.

I thought flourescent lights, the basis for computer chips working at all, and generally anything that relied on electrons being in different atomic shells, and was limited by uncertainty, were manifestations of quantum devices on a commercial scale.

Second, the fundamental difficulty lies with the fact that the atomic shells being filled in the actinide series are: 7s, 6d, 5f and the order of filling which shells "first" changes from element to element because these states are very close in energy.

The problem with the "shell configurations" is that once atoms get close together, the electron "orbits" of neighboring atoms start to overlap, and instead of atomic shells what you get are "bands" of electron states, many of which are de-localized.

Ô But also... he didn't want to think about it, but in looking at that deep part of himself, he had glimpsed something he hadn't guessed was there: a vast data repository, composed of quantum-resonant atomic shells in an ordered diamond lattice.
