Electronic lower

As a proton slows down, its LET, as well as the number of delta electrons, increase, while the size of the track, on the contrary, becomes smaller since the maximum energy of delta electrons lowers. As a result, one observers a sharp increase both of the local concentrations near the track s axis and of average concentrations. This favors the increase of yields of products of recombination of active particles with increase of LET, that is, there is a direct correspondence between the density of active particles in the track and the LET. A similar picture is observed in tracks of alpha particles. 

Molecular orbital calculations have also provided theoretical justification for these stereoelectronic effects in tetracovalent and pentacovalent phosphorus species (2-7). As has been shown in molecular orbital calculations on the X -P-X2 (X = 0,N) structural fragments, the X.-P bond is strengthened (as indicated by an increase in the Mulliken overlap population) while the P-X3 bond is weakened when the X atom lone pair is app to the P-X3 bond. Thus, in the g,t conformation of dimethyl phosphate (Structure ll the overlap population for the trans P-0 bond is. 017 electron lower than the overlap population for the gauche P-0 bond. As shown for g,t dimethyl phosphate one lone pair (shaded in 1) on the gauche bond oxygen is app to the trans bond, while no lone pairs on the trans bond oxygen are app to the gauche bond. Thus, the weakest X.-P bond has one app lone pair and no lone pairs on X. app to the P=X2 bond. 1...

Another mode of decay is possible for man-made proton-rich nuclei. It has been shown that certain of such nuclei can capture one of their orbital electrons, lowering the atomic number by one unit and leaving the mass number unchanged. The net change is the same as that in positron decay, but orbital-electron capture or K capture occurs when the mass of the parent atom exceeds that of the daughter atom, but by less than 0.00110 atomic mass unit. A typical example is the conversion of Be7 (mass 7.01916) to Li7 (mass 7.01822) ...

Molecules or species with resonance structures are generally considered to be more stable than those without them. The delocalization of the electrons lowers the orbital energies, imparting this stability. The resonance in benzene gives rise to the property of w aromaticity. The gain in stability is called the resonance energy.
