Meet Theo Gray, chemist and author, who helps David explore how the electron configuration of an atom ... The noble gases, like neon and argon, pose a problem for chemists who prefer their ...

Past studies have confirmed that magnesium and neon can start eating away at the electrons once the mass of the core has grown close to a Chandrasekhar’s limiting mass, a process called electron ...

Figure 2: Neon charge-state yields for X-ray energies below, above and far above the 1 s-shell binding energy, 870 eV. Figure 4: Electron spectra for inner-shell and valence photoelectrons and ...
