  Radioactive decay

  Radioactive decay is the set of various processes by which unstable atomic nuclei (nuclides) emit subatomic particles (radiation). Decay is said to occur in the parent nucleus and produces a daughter ... > more

  Hydrogen-like atom

  Hydrogen-like atoms (or hydrogenic atoms) are atoms with one single electron. Like the hydrogen atom, hydrogen-like atoms are one of the few quantum mechanical problems which can be exactly ... > more

  Lewis structure

  Lewis structures, also called electron-dot structures or electron-dot diagrams, are diagrams that show the bonding between atoms of a molecule, and the lone pairs of electrons that may exist in the ... > more

  Quantum number

  A quantum number describes the energies of electrons in atoms. Each quantum number specifies the value of a conserved quantity in the dynamics of the quantum system. Since any quantum system can have ... > more

  Catalysis

  In chemistry and biology, catalysis is the acceleration (increase in rate) of a chemical reaction by means of a substance, called a catalyst, that is itself not consumed by the overall reaction. A ... > more

  Isotope

  Isotopes are forms of an element whose nuclei have the same atomic number–-the number of protons in the nucleus--but different mass numbers because they contain different numbers of ... > more

  Ultraviolet

  Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is electromagnetic radiation of a wavelength shorter than that of the visible region, but longer than that of soft X-rays. The Sun emits ultraviolet radiation in the UVA, ... > more
