Carbon hexagonal lattice. As of 2009, graphene appears to be the strongest material ever tested. The process of separating it from graphite will require some further technological development before it is economical for industrial processes. If successful, graphene could be used in the construction of a space elevator. It could also be used to safely store hydrogen for use in a hydrogen based engine in cars. The amorphous form is an assortment of carbon atoms in a non-crystalline, irregular, glassy state, not held in a crystalline macrostructure. It is present as a powder, and is the main constituent of substances such
Two-electron atom atomic nuclei. The wavefunction is a function of the two electron's positions: There is no closed form solution for this equation. The optical spectrum of the two electron atom has two systems of lines. A para system of single lines, and an ortho system of triplets (closely spaced group of three lines). The energy levels in the atom for the single lines are indicated by S P D F etc., and for the triplets, some energy levels are split: S P P P D D D F F F. Alkaline earths and mercury also have spectra with similar features, due
