RARITY. “Seldom, an electron will escape by absorbing two or more quanta. Still, this is extremely rare because by the time it absorbs enough quanta to escape, the electron will probably have emitted the rest of the quanta.” https://lnkd.in/eDZvjevE View in LinkedIn

NOBEL LAUREATE. “As a child I was always interested in building things. Instead of buying candy, I would purchase nails which I used to construct things out of scrap wood. My mother always claimed that my spending my money on nails instead of on candy was why I was so skinny as a kid.” (Robert H. Grubbs). https://lnkd.in/e9-viyDe View in LinkedIn

ODDITY. “Below that threshold, no electrons are emitted from the material irrespective of the light intensity or the length of time of exposure to the light.” https://lnkd.in/eDZvjevE View in LinkedIn

“SULFATE ions in rainwater come from several sources. In industrial areas the principal source is the combustion of fuels containing sulfur. In other areas sulfate comes from shallow-water marine environments.” https://lnkd.in/ete8CApd View in LinkedIn

OBSERVATION. “Instead, electrons are dislodged only by the impingement of photons when those photons reach or exceed a threshold frequency (energy).” https://lnkd.in/eDZvjevE View in LinkedIn

RELATIVE AMOUNTS. “Calcium, magnesium, and potassium ions in rainwater come both from oceanic salts and from land surfaces. Both calcium and magnesium increase with respect to sodium and chloride over land areas, and calcium increases more than magnesium.” https://lnkd.in/ete8CApd View in LinkedIn

DISCREPANCY. “Yet, the experimental results did not correlate with either of the two predictions made by classical theory.” https://lnkd.in/eDZvjevE View in LinkedIn

NON-BANDED ROCKS. “By contrast, rocks that were subjected to uniform pressure from all sides, or those that lack minerals with distinctive growth habits, will not be foliated. Non-foliated rocks do not have planar patterns of stress.” https://lnkd.in/eSpeQsqS View in LinkedIn

BANDED ROCK. “Foliation occurs when a strong compressive force is applied to a recrystallizing rock from one direction. Consequently, the platy or elongated crystals of some minerals (such as mica or chlorite) grow with their long axes perpendicular to the direction of the force. This process results in foliated rock, in which the bands display the colors of the minerals that formed them.” https://lnkd.in/eSpeQsqS View in LinkedIn

FOLIATION. “The layering within metamorphic rocks is called foliation, and the rock is known as foliated or banded rock. The term "foliation" is derived from the Latin word folia, which means "leaves." https://lnkd.in/eSpeQsqS View in LinkedIn
