Although this simile is now known to miss the mark, its historical importance cannot be denied. The centrifugal force victoriously opposes the electrical attraction and conversely, for each electron. A wonderful merry-go-round (dynamical equilibrium) is the result. In this idyllic version, the revolving motion of the electrons would go on forever, if the atom were not subjected to external infiuences, namely, collisions with other atoms, electrons and photons. Deformed to varying degrees by these impacts, atoms always tend to restore themselves in the most harmonious way, evacuating the excess energy acquired from the collision. 

This chapter outlines the principles of green chemistry, and explains the connection between catalysis and sustainable development. It covers the concepts of environmental impact, atom economy, and life-cycle analysis, with hands-on examples. Then it introduces the reader to heterogeneous catalysis, homogeneous catalysis, and biocatalysis, explaining what catalysis is and why it is important. The last two sections give an overview of the tools used in catalysis research, and a list of recommended books on specialized subjects in catalysis. 

If the gas phase is ideal, the flux of impacting atoms on the surface is P 2n mkT) m, where m is atomic mass and k is Boltzmann s constant. If a is the probability that an atom incident of an unoccupied site will be adsorbed, the flux of adsorbing atoms is... 

The neutron backscatter uses a neutron radiation source that is focused on a sample, and the neutron backscatter is measured and correlated to the moisture content. The energy of the neutron after the impact is a function of the mass of the impacted atom. If the mass of the impacted nucleus is equal to the mass of the neutron, all of the neutron s kinetic energy is transferred... 

We note from Fig. 9 that the individual bonded and nonbonded contributions to t — 22, as they vary with p, are approximately equal in absolute value although opposite in sign. A possible heuristic picture for this behavior is based on Fig (8a) because of the short range and strongly repulsive character of u b, a nonbonded interaction has the character of a classic collision—the duration of an individual interaction is very short. As a result, the impacted atom (fl in Fig. 8a) moves little and the resultant of the impulsive compressive forces in its bonds to oq and a2 balance that exerted by x ( on [>. However, a collision in the configuration shown in Fig. 8b would contribute an impulsive tensile force to its bonds, but a collision between y ( and fi in that configuration is less likely because of steric shielding and, as verified in simulations, occurs less frequently. 

The energy and mass of the impacting atom can be varied by using Kr or Xe in place of Ar. Correlations of initial energy distributions with these parameters, and with the nature of the impacting particle (e.g. using photons derived from resonance lines of Ar, Kr, Xe, which can have identical energies, or electrons) can thus be made. 

Several methods are aimed at quantifying the greenness of an experiment [76]. The Environmental or E-factor is one of the simplest. It calculates the ratio of total waste to total product (Eq. 9.25) [77]. While the type of waste, and not only the amount, is important, this simple calculation allows an estimation of environmental impact. Atom economy is calculated by dividing the molecular weight of the desired product by the total of the molecular weights of all the products and by-products of the reaction weighting as appropriate for a balanced equation (Eq. 9.26, where n is the molar coefficient from the balanced equation) [78]. This is another estimate of environmental impact.
