In atomic physics and quantum chemistry, the electron configuration is the arrangement of electrons in an atom, molecule, or other physical structure (e.g., a crystal). Like other elementary ...

The preference of HCOs for copper is likely due to the higher redox potential of Cu as well as its d-orbital electron configuration. Copper-II has nine d-electrons, while Fe III has five d-electrons.

We now know that chemistry follows electron configuration. The Alkali metals all behave similarly because they all have only one electron in their valence shell, and that single electron is in an ...

May 15, 2023: Seeing electron orbital signatures (Nanowerk News) No one will ever be able to see a purely mathematical construct such as a perfect sphere.But now, scientists using supercomputer ...

Using advanced electron diffraction techniques, the scientists discovered that orbital fluctuations in iron-based compounds induce strongly coupled polarizations that can enhance electron pairing ...
