"monatomic" is a combination of the words "mono" and "atomic", and means "single atom". It is usually applied to gases: a monatomic gas is a gas in...

real gases behave qualitatively like an ideal gas where the gas molecules (or atoms for monatomic gas) play the role of the ideal particles. Many gases such...

that substance than for a gram of a monatomic gas. Thus, the specific heat capacity per mole of a polyatomic gas depends both on the molecular mass and...

for monatomic gases (such as argon) and it is 4/3 = 1.333 for triatomic molecule gases that, like H 2O, are not co-linear (a co-linear triatomic gas such...

twice as much energy as n atoms of a monatomic gas. One way to look at this result is to observe that the monatomic gas can only store energy as kinetic energy...

)M_{\mathrm {u} }}}},} where: γ0 is the heat capacity ratio (⁠5/3⁠ for monatomic gases such as argon); T is the temperature, TTPW = 273.16 K by the definition...

elements are odorless, colorless, monatomic gases with very low chemical reactivity and cryogenic boiling points. The noble gases' inertness, or tendency not...

D. A monatomic gas is axially symmetric about each spatial axis, so that D = 3 comprising translational motion along each axis. A diatomic gas is axially...

atomic number 10. It is the second noble gas in the periodic table. Neon is a colorless, odorless, inert monatomic gas under standard conditions, with approximately...

departs from that of a diatomic gas below room temperature and begins to increasingly resemble that of a monatomic gas at cryogenic temperatures. According...
