A small piece of sodium metal is placed in a flask of chlorine gas. A little water helps expose the sodium so it can react with the chlorine gas. The reaction releases a lot of heat as the ionic ...

However, a new study published in Physical Review Letters on October 22 has challenged the assumptions by providing direct evidence of the breakdown of spin statistics in ion-atom charge exchange ...

There are three isotopes of hydrogen: hydrogen, deuterium (hydrogen-2) and tritium (hydrogen-3): if the atom loses one or more electrons, it becomes a positively-charged ion if the atom gains one ...
