Helium is considered a key tracer for processes in Earth’s deep interior as the core is thought to be a reservoir for the primordial isotope 3He. High 3He/4He ratios in ocean island basalts fed by mantle plumes are indicative of relatively undegassed reservoirs preserved in the deep mantle...
Multiple Ionization in Arcs and Sparks is Probably Due to successive ionization of the same atoms.doi:10.1016/S0016-0032(22)90581-2R. A. MillikanElsevier LtdJournal of the Franklin InstituteR. A. Millikan.Some Facts Bearing on the Structure of Atoms, Particularly of the Helium Atom...
Nonetheless, the termapproximatematters because the masses of individual atoms in elements -- other than carbon -- are not whole numbers (see above examples). This is because mass is affected by the interactions of various particles in the nucleus. And, even though the mass of electrons is sm...
A system related to cold atoms is a cluster of helium atoms that is a quantum liquid droplet at zero temperature even though the size of the cluster can be quite small8,9. The van der Waals force between any two helium atoms creates an attractive tail in the helium–helium interaction and...
Figure 3: Helium Atom Figure three is a schematic diagram of a helium atom in its lowest energy state. Two protons are present in the nucleus of all helium atoms. In the most common variety of helium, the nucleus also contains two neutrons, which have nearly the same mass as the proton...
primarilyhydrogenandhelium, which are still the most abundant elements in the universe, according toJefferson Lab. Gravity eventually caused clouds of gas to coalesce and form stars, and heavier atoms were (and still are) created within the stars and sent throughout the universe when the star ...
Not all atoms are stable. Some isotopes are unstable and will spontaneously decay. There are several types of decay. One is alpha particle decay, wherein an atom releases a helium nucleus.Beta decayinvolves the emission of a proton or an electron. Ingamma-decay, a gamma-ray photon is emitt...
In the neutral, non-charged state, every atom has the same number ofelectronsas it does protons. Elements starting with helium also contain a number ofneutronssimilar to and usually slightly in excess of the proton number. Variants of elements with different numbers of neutrons are called isotope...

This method is used to calculate transition matrix elements for the multi-photon ionization of atoms and molecules under the influence of a perturbative field. The method relies on the partitioning of space which allows us to calculate the infinite-range free-free dipole integrals analytically in ...
