Formal Charges

In some cases, there are seemingly more than one valid Lewis structures for molecules and polyatomic ions. The concept of formal charges can be used to help predict the most appropriate Lewis structure when more than one reasonable structure exists.

Frustration and Conflict: Avoidance-Avoidance, Double-Approach Avoidance

650
Avoidance-avoidance conflict refers to a psychological situation where a person must choose between two or more unpleasant alternatives. These conflicts are particularly stressful because neither option is desirable. This dilemma is often expressed in sayings like "caught between a rock and a hard place" or "between the devil and the deep blue sea." For instance, individuals who fear dental procedures may find themselves torn between enduring a painful toothache or facing the...

Ions and Ionic Charges

In ordinary chemical reactions, the nucleus — which contains the protons and neutrons of each atom and thus identifies the element — remains unchanged. Electrons, however, can be added to atoms by transfer from other atoms, lost by transfer to other atoms, or shared with other atoms. The transfer and sharing of electrons among atoms govern the chemistry of the elements. During the formation of some compounds, atoms gain or lose electrons to form electrically charged particles called...

The elements in groups of the periodic table exhibit similar chemical behavior. This similarity occurs because the members of a group have the same number and distribution of electrons in their valence shells.

From lightning during thunderstorms to electronic devices, the phenomenon of electromagnetism is all around us. The electromagnetic force is one of the four fundamental forces of nature. It has been known to humanity in various forms for thousands of years. For example, the ancient Greek philosopher Thales of Miletus recorded his experiments on static electricity using amber and fur in the sixth century BC.
The English physicist William Gilbert studied the phenomenon of static electricity in...

Charge on a Conductor

5.4K
An interesting property of a conductor in static equilibrium is that extra charges on the conductor end up on its outer surface, regardless of where they originate. Consider a hollow metallic conductor with a uniform surface charge density. Since the conductor itself is in electrostatic equilibrium, there should not be any electric field inside the conductor. Now, assume a Gaussian surface enclosing the hollow portion. Applying Gauss's law, the inner surface of the hollow conductor will not...

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Fluid Dynamics
  • Physics

Background:

  • Electrohydrodynamic jet (e-jet) printing quality is significantly affected by satellite drop formation during primary drop detachment.
  • Satellite drops carrying electric charge introduce complex interactions with the meniscus, unlike in conventional inkjet printing.
  • Contamination of printed patterns occurs if satellite drops impact the substrate.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To numerically investigate the formation and flight dynamics of charged satellite drops in e-jet printing.
  • To elucidate the mechanism governing the generation and behavior of these satellite drops.
  • To identify key parameters influencing satellite drop merging with the meniscus.

Main Methods:

  • Numerical simulations were employed to study the behavior of charged satellite drops.
  • Analysis focused on the interaction between the satellite drop and the meniscus.
  • The influence of charge relaxation time (CRT) on satellite drop dynamics was examined.

Main Results:

  • Charge relaxation time (CRT) is a critical factor determining the electric repulsion force between the satellite drop and the meniscus.
  • A longer CRT facilitates the merging of the satellite drop with the meniscus, improving printing quality.
  • A shorter CRT hinders merging, leading to satellite drops impacting the substrate and degrading printing quality.
  • Critical CRT decreases with increasing dielectric constant and flow rate.
  • Lower dielectric constants and higher flow rates can promote satellite drop merging.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding CRT is essential for controlling satellite drop behavior in e-jet printing.
  • Optimizing CRT, dielectric constant, and flow rate can prevent satellite drop contamination.
  • This research provides insights for selecting appropriate printing parameters to enhance pattern fidelity.
