The heavy fuel should be heated systematically before use to improve its operation and atomization in the burner. The change in kinematic viscosity with temperature is indispensable information for calculating pressure drop and setting tbe preheating temperature. Table 5.20 gives examples of viscosity required for burners as a function of their technical design. 

First, both the skeleton and the ligands at a stereocenter have to be numbered independently of each other. The sites of the skeleton can be numbered arbitrarily but then this numbering has to remain fixed all the time in any further operations. The atoms directly bonded to the stereocenter have to be numbered according to rules such as the CIP rules or the Morgan Algorithm (Figure 2-79). 

The unitary transform does the same thing as a similarity transform, except that it operates in a complex space rather than a real space. Thinking in terms of an added imaginary dimension for each real dimension, the space of the unitary matrix is a 2m-dimensionaI space. The unitary transform is introduced here because atomic or molecular wave functions may be complex. 

There is a very convenient way of writing the Hamiltonian operator for atomic and molecular systems. One simply writes a kinetic energy part — for each election and a Coulombic potential Z/r for each interparticle electrostatic interaction. In the Coulombic potential Z is the charge and r is the interparticle distance. The temi Z/r is also an operator signifying multiply by Z r . The sign is - - for repulsion and — for atPaction. 

Having been introdueed to the eoneepts of operators, wavefunetions, the Hamiltonian and its Sehrodinger equation, it is important to now eonsider several examples of the applieations of these eoneepts. The examples treated below were ehosen to provide the learner with valuable experienee in solving the Sehrodinger equation they were also ehosen beeause the models they embody form the most elementary ehemieal models of eleetronie motions in eonjugated moleeules and in atoms, rotations of linear moleeules, and vibrations of ehemieal bonds. 

For the kind of potentials that arise in atomic and molecular structure, the Hamiltonian H is a Hermitian operator that is bounded from below (i.e., it has a lowest eigenvalue). Because it is Hermitian, it possesses a complete set of orthonormal eigenfunctions ( /j Any function spin variables on which H operates and obeys the same boundary conditions that the ( /j obey can be expanded in this complete set... 

So, for any atom, the orbitals can be labeled by both 1 and m quantum numbers, which play the role that point group labels did for non-linear molecules and X did for linear molecules. Because (i) the kinetic energy operator in the electronic Hamiltonian explicitly contains L2/2mer2, (ii) the Hamiltonian does not contain additional Lz, Lx, or Ly factors. 

When the states P1 and P2 are described as linear combinations of CSFs as introduced earlier ( Fi = Zk CiKK), these matrix elements can be expressed in terms of CSF-based matrix elements < K I eri IOl >. The fact that the electric dipole operator is a one-electron operator, in combination with the SC rules, guarantees that only states for which the dominant determinants differ by at most a single spin-orbital (i.e., those which are "singly excited") can be connected via electric dipole transitions through first order (i.e., in a one-photon transition to which the < Fi Ii eri F2 > matrix elements pertain). It is for this reason that light with energy adequate to ionize or excite deep core electrons in atoms or molecules usually causes such ionization or excitation rather than double ionization or excitation of valence-level electrons the latter are two-electron events. 

Scale of Operation The scale of operations for atomic emission is ideal for the direct analysis of trace and ultratrace analytes in macro and meso samples. With appropriate dilutions, atomic emission also can be applied to major and minor analytes. 

The positive column is a region in which atoms, electrons, and ions are all present together in similar numbers, and it is referred to as a plasma. Again, as with the corona discharge, in mass spectrometry, plasmas are usually operated in gases at or near atmospheric pressure. 

An Xc2 excimer laser has been made to operate in this way, but of much greater importance are the noble gas halide lasers. These halides also have repulsive ground states and bound excited states they are examples of exciplexes. An exciplex is a complex consisting, in a diatomic molecule, of two different atoms, which is stable in an excited electronic state but dissociates readily in the ground state. In spite of this clear distinction between an excimer and an exciplex it is now common for all such lasers to be called excimer lasers. 

In choosing fhe examples of lasers discussed in Sections 9.2.1 to 9.2.10 many have been left ouf. These include fhe CO, H2O, HCN, colour cenfre, and chemical lasers, all operating in fhe infrared region, and fhe green copper vapour laser. The examples fhaf we have looked af in some defail serve to show how disparate and arbifrary fhe materials seem to be. For example, fhe facf fhaf Ne atoms lase in a helium-neon laser does nof mean fhaf Ar, Kr and Xe will lase also - fhey do nof. Nor is if fhe case fhaf because CO2 lases, fhe chemically similar CS2 will lase also.
