Monatomic in a sentence

A defect in armchair-type tubes (which can conduct electricity) can cause the surrounding region to become semiconducting, and single monatomic vacancies induce magnetic properties.

For these reasons and the small size of helium monatomic molecules, helium diffuses through solids at a rate three times that of air and around 65% that of hydrogen.

If the substance is one of the monatomic gases, (which have little tendency to form molecular bonds) the heat of fusion is more modest, ranging from 0.021 to 2.3 kJ per mole.

In this narrowest sense, the only pure paramagnet is a dilute gas of monatomic hydrogen atoms.

Ionospheric ramjet The upper atmosphere above about convert contains monatomic oxygen produced by the sun through photochemistry.

It also shows some metallic behavior, including being able to form a stable monatomic cation in aqueous solution (unlike the lighter halogens).

John Dalton 's original atomic hypothesis assumed that all elements were monatomic and that the atoms in compounds would normally have the simplest atomic ratios with respect to one another.

Liquid Structure of a classical monatomic liquid.

Maxwell observed that the specific heat capacity of H 2 unaccountably departs from that of a diatomic gas below room temperature and begins to increasingly resemble that of a monatomic gas at cryogenic temperatures.

Monatomic ideal gases possess three degrees of freedom per atom, corresponding to the three spatial directions, which means a thermal energy of kT per atom.

Monatomic ions are formed from single atoms, while polyatomic ions are formed from two or more atoms that have been bonded together, in each case yielding an ion with a positive or negative net charge.

Monatomic oxygen is electrically neutral and although it does recombine during the channeling, it does so at a slower rate than the positively or negatively charged free radicals, which attract one another.

Monatomic oxygen (O) in the upper stratosphere reacts with methane (CH 4 ) to form a hydroxyl radical (OH·).

Physical model for vaporization Fig. 1 Schematic cross section of the proposed vaporization model for monatomic liquids with one atomic surface layer.

Schematic illustration of some simple point defect types in a monatomic solid *A nearby pair of a vacancy and an interstitial is often called a Frenkel defect or Frenkel pair.

Since the two internal degrees of freedom are essentially unfrozen, in accordance with the equipartition theorem, nitrogen has five-thirds the specific heat capacity per mole (a specific number of molecules) as do the monatomic gases.

The hypochloryl radical then reacts with an atomic oxygen creating another oxygen molecule and another chlorine radical, thereby preventing the reaction of monatomic oxygen with O 2 to create natural ozone.

Thus none of the three placements are entirely satisfactory, although group 1 is the most common placement (if one is chosen) because the hydron is by far the most important of all monatomic hydrogen species, being the foundation of acid-base chemistry.

Using a plasma source, a monatomic (single atom) substance known as a reactive species is generated.
