Negative ground

To prevent the second type of explosion, make sure batteries have the same voltage before connecting them. Connect negative terminals to a ground last (for cars that have a negative ground) and disconnect them first. Also, one should wear protective eyewear during this operation. 

The chemical potential for an ideal Bose gas has to be lower than the ground-state energy. Otherwise the occupancy (n.p of some state j would become negative. 

There are two mechanisms by which a phase change on the ground-state surface can take place. One, the orbital overlap mechanism, was extensively discussed by both MO [55] and VB [47] formulations, and involves the creation of a negative overlap between two adjacent atomic orbitals during the reaction (or an odd number of negative overlaps). This case was temied a phase dislocation by other workers [43,45,46]. A reaction in which this happens is... 

Since Q is negative, and //ab,cl for tbe ground state must be a negative sign, it follows that the ground state for the odd parity case is the in-phase combination, while for the even parity case, the out-of-phase wave function is the ground state. 

We now introduce a second Drude molecule, identical to the first, with the positive charge also located on the z axis and an oscillating negative charge (Figure 4.33). When the two molecules are infinitely separated, they do not interact and the total ground-state energy of the system is... 

TABLE 4.4 Electron Affinities of Atoms, Molecules, and Radicals Electron affinity of an atom (molecule or radical) is defined as the energy difference between the lowest (ground) state of the neutral and the lowest state of the corresponding negative ion in the gas phase. A(g) + e = A-(g) Data are limited to those negative ions which, by virtue of their positive electron affinity, are stable. Uncertainty in the final data figures is given in parentheses. Calculated values are enclosed in brackets. ...
