So in general chemistry we learned about covelant bonds and ionic bonds and such, but recently I learned that electrons have wave-particle duality and that many things I learned in general chemistry are not necessarily completely wrong but oversimplified (such as Bohr Model). So how does quantum...

I see. I asked in an earlier question what an easy gas would be to ionize and to get, and I was recommended air which is primarily composed of nitrogen and oxygen but never mind, on further research I see that it actually forms bonds with itself, so you are correct. Sorry about that. However, in...

If I add 1402kJ of energy to 1 mol of Nitrogen I will ionize it, as I understand it. So when I ionize it, will it actually change the velocity of the ionized atom? What about the overall temperature of the gas?

Thanks, precisely what I was looking for.

Ok, so could you show me how you got this value? It would be an adiabatic scenario, and yes it is supposed to be insulated. It is an ideal scenario. I'm a bit more interested on how to find a change in velocity of these atoms. Ofcourse I am assuming that there will be a change in velocity, and I...

So I've been wondering if anyone knows a formula to relate these quantities in this scenario. Say I have a container that originally has some volume, some amount of atoms at a constant velocity and is at a certain pressure and is airtight and then connect it to another container that has twice...

Okay, but the second plate, the positive one, does not actually have a positive charge such as +1 Coloumb or such. Right? It simply is less negative than the first plate. Otherwise, thanks that was precisely what I was looking for.

Apparently I was not specific enough, I apologize. I am placing a negatively charged ion in between the two parallel plates. Now it will move towards the positive plate, obviously. My questions are, 1. Why is the positive plate positive? I am not understanding how it gains that polarity. 2. If...

I am still a bit confused. So when there is just two parallel plates does this mean the electrons do travel from the cathode to the anode? If so wouldn't that mean that when calculating the energy transferred to this negatively charged ion, you would have to take into account electrons slamming...

So I know I have a misconception in one of these ideas and I would appreciate it if someone could correct me and thoroughly explain my error. Say I have two parallel plates connected to a battery, now there will be an electric field with magnitude, V/d between these plates. Now if I place a...

I was so bent on finding a direct equation I completely missed that solution. Thanks for all the help.

Okay, no problem. I'll bold the variable v. First I multiply both sides by the denominator 1- v^2/c^2 and distribute the m^2 to get F^2 -(F^2*v^2)/c^2 = (m^2*v^2)/t^2 + (m^2*b^2)/t^2 - (2*v*b*m^2)/t^2 Now I put all the terms with v on one side. F^2 -(m^2*b^2)/t^2 = (m^2*v^2)/t^2 +...

Okay, thanks for the LaTex guide. Now could you show me how you would algebraically solve it from where you stopped? I still end up getting stuck.

But isn't air composed of multiple different gases? It is important that there only is one gas in the chamber. (Ofcourse if there is 98% of one gas and 2% of another gas in this chamber that wouldn't be an issue)

Well you could rearrange the equation to be F * (1-v^2/c^2)^1/2 = m * (v/t - b/t) but i do not understand how that will really solve anything. If I now square both sides to get rid of square root over (1-v^2/c^2) I now end up with a v^2 -2vb + b^2 on the other side which is an issue because...
