Electron sticking

It is possible that electrons are not the major carrier of negative charge in dense interstellar clouds. It has been suggested that if a large fractional abundance of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) exists throughout dense interstellar clouds (see Section I), then electron sticking reactions of the type,... 

The VSEPR approach attributes this geometry to the electrostatic repulsion due to the sixth pair of electrons sticking out of the base of the square pyramid. Iso-electronic XeF has a droop angle of 11° (axial-equatorial angle of 79°). The present approach attributes the stability of the spy geometry to the fact that here the s orbital destabilisation is smallest and the observed bond angles due to the same molecular orbital result we have seen earlier in CIF3 and SF4.

Heterogeneous nucleation is most likely to occur when there is a strong tendency for the crystal to stick to the surface of the catalyst. This sticking tendency can be described by the angle of contact, 6, shown in Fig. 7.3 the smaller 6, the better the adhesion. Anyone who has tried to get electronic solder to stick to a strip of copper will understand this well. If the copper is tarnished the solder will just roll around as a molten blob with 6 = 180°, and will not stick to the surface at all. If the tarnished... 

SPMs are simpler to operate than electron microscopes. Because the instruments can operate under ambient conditions, the set-up time can be a matter of minutes. Sample preparation is minimal. SFM does not require a conducting path, so samples can be mounted with double-stick tape. STM can use a sample holder with conducting clips, similar to that used for SEM. An image can be acquired in less than a minute in fact, movies of ten fiames per second have been demonstrated. ... 

A convenient orbital method for describing eleetron motion in moleeules is the method of molecular orbitals. Molecular orbitals are defined and calculated in the same way as atomic orbitals and they display similar wave-like properties. The main difference between molecular and atomic orbitals is that molecular orbitals are not confined to a single atom. The crests and troughs in an atomic orbital are confined to a region close to the atomic nucleus (typieally within 1-2 A). The electrons in a molecule, on the other hand, do not stick to a single atom, and are free to move all around the molecule. Consequendy, the crests and troughs in a molecular orbital are usually spread over several atoms. 

The first floor of the atom can hold only two electrons. When two hydrogen atoms, each with one electron, come together, each nucleus is in effect sharing two electrons, and as far as each nucleus is concerned, its shell is filled. The helium atom already contains two electrons its first floor is filled. That is why helium is unreactive. Wlien two helium atoms collide, rather than stick together, they simply bounce apart. (.See Table 1.)...

For alkali modified noble and sp-metals (e.g. Cu, Al, Ag and Au), where the CO adsorption bond is rather weak, due to negligible backdonation of electronic density from the metal, the presence of an alkali metal has a weaker effect on CO adsorption. A promotional effect in CO adsorption (increase in the initial sticking coefficient and strengthening of the chemisorptive CO bond) has been observed for K- or Cs-modified Cu surfaces as well as for the CO-K(or Na)/Al(100) system.6,43 In the latter system dissociative adsorption of CO is induced in the presence of alkali species.43... 

This backdonation of electron density from the metal surface also results in an unusually low N-N streching frequency in the a-N2 state compared to the one in the y-N2 state, i.e. 1415 cm 1 and 2100 cm"1, respectively, for Fe(l 11)68. Thus the propensity for dissociation of the a-N2 state is comparatively higher and this state is considered as a precursor for dissociation. Because of the weak adsorption of the y-state both the corresponding adsorption rate and saturation coverage for molecular nitrogen are strongly dependent on the adsorption temperature. At room temperature on most transition metals the initial sticking coefficient does not exceed 10 3. 

Below are ball-and-stick models of two molecules. In each case, indicate whether or not there must be, may be, or cannot be one or more lone pairs of electrons on the central atom ...
