    Undergrad Forming an Excimer - Explaining the Process for Xenon

    Thanks so much for the reply! I'm starting to get it a bit more. So, if Xe has 5s2 5p6, Xe* has 5s2 5p5 6s1 in its valence shell. Apparently the ground Xe can in fact take more than 8 electrons in its valence shell. So I take it the 5d subshell could be used somewhere in the reaction...

    Formation of Excimer Structures: Explained for Engineers

    Reposting from another section... Can anyone explain to me how an excimer is formed? Like structure wise? Considering Xenon. I've gathered that an excited state Xe*, ground state Xe, and a 3rd body M react resulting in an Xe* excimer + M(carrying away excess energy). I'm struggling to find...
