Electron-momentum spectroscopy (EMS) provides the most direct experimental tests of the validity of the concepts of atomic and molecular orbitals so crucial to chemists in interpreting the electronic structure of matter. This note summarizes a review of EMS published recently by Vos and McCarthy in the American Journal of Physics. In their review they present EMS results for simple molecular systems and atomic, metallic, and ionic solids.
Our Secondary School editors work hard to distill all the JCE materials to produce a fraction of particular interest to high school teachers. We call it CLIC.
In recent years we have worked hard to better match our advertisers with our readers. When shopping for chemistry education materials, visit our advertisers' WWW sites first.
Take JCE along on your outreach missions. Copies of the Journal, guest access to JCE Online, our publications catalog, and more are available for your participants.
