An orbital is an energy level available to an electron in an atom or molecule. Since atoms and molecules usually contain many electrons, there are many orbitals, and they form the rungs of an energy ladder. Each rung can accept two electrons, but it can also take just one electron or remain altogether empty. 

Hybrid Orbitals. Orbitals, as one-electron energy levels, and corresponding wavefunctions are mathematical concepts only states are physically observable. Nevertheless, the simple picture of orbitals as the rungs of an energy ladder is very helpful, and is in many cases sufficient to account for the photophysical and photochemical properties of molecules. In more accurate pictures of orbitals it is necessary to consider their interactions, as they are not really totally independent. In this respect the concept of hydrid orbitals is important such hybrid orbitals are formed from a combination of elementary orbitals defined by their quantum numbers n, /, and m. The best... 

This is "up the free energy ladder." Evidently this reaction proceeds spontaneously in the opposite direction (the burning of hydrogen) and hence electrical energy must be supplied to make the reaction happen, according to the well-known relationship ...

A, B = N or 0 Contact of AH with B orbitals leads to the formation of three molecular orbitals according to theory of linear combination of atomic orbitals (LCAO). Relative sizes are as drawn. Orbital filling according to occupied energy ladder (left) just favours bonding interactions.

Values of (Equation 8) are shown on the vertical lines for various equilibria, and derived values of -aG for the metallocenes are shown on the right. Values in parentheses are estimates. Temperature 350 K.

Reference compounds are on the left, and derived values of -aG are on the right. Values (rf are not shown to simplify the graphic, but charge-transfer equilibria were determined for those complexes connected to reference complexes by a solid line. Temperature -350 K.

An important feature of relativistic wave equations is that their energy spectra are no longer limited to positive energies. It poses the awkward possibility that, unless all negative energy levels are blocked, any electron would simply cascade down the energy ladder into a bottomless pit. 

Expressions (1.59) and (1.60) may be understood as the diffusion coefficient for the diffusion process at the energy ladder, illustrated in Fig. 1.13. The diffusion coefficients in general de nd on Ef. Further ways of converting the master equation (1.34) into simpler... 

In fundamental studies of the CA phenomenon it is important to distinguish between single collision and multiple collision conditions, since in the latter case any conclusions drawn about the CA mechanism will be blurred by the effect of superposition of several different colhsions on the observed outcome. However, this aspect is of little consequence for present purposes, far less important than optimization of both the 5deld and specificity of the observed fragmentations. Of course CA in a Paul trap is inherently a multiple collision phenomenon that involves climbing the internal energy ladder (McLuckey 1997). As discussed in Section 6.4.2a, use of relatively high pressures of heavier collision gas in a linear RF-only quadrupole collision cell can yield unexpected improvements in overall performance.
