Sentence examples for successive shells from inspiring English sources

The shells resemble the layers of an onion, with successive shells surrounding the inner shells.

(We know now that fundamentally this comes down to how the electrons in an atom, which determine how it behaves, fit into successive shells around the nucleus). The known elements can be laid out into rows and columns, with those lining up in the same column sharing characteristics, like a chemical family.

In 1913 the Danish physicist Niels Bohr proposed that the electrons in atoms are in successive shells having characteristic energies and capacities and that the capacities of the shells for electrons determine the numbers of elements in the rows of the periodic table.

The presence of these successive shells is indicative of long-range order within the double cone mosaic that extends beyond the nearest neighbors of a given photoreceptor.

The resulting pseudo-Radial Distribution Functions (RDF) are uncorrected for phase shift leading to a shift of the peaks by 0.3 0.4 Å. Separate peaks in the RDF corresponding to successive shells of neighboring atoms around Cd were isolated by Back-Fourier Transformation (BFT) for single or multiple shell analysis.

g Another fruit, in one case, ongoing smouldering of fruit shell (heat source was already removed) with successive shell decomposition and complete loss of seeds.

When we're dealing with atoms outside of the transition metals, we say that these orbitals form "orbital shells" around the atom, with each successive shell being further out than the ones before.

Exfoliation, separation of successive thin shells, or spalls, from massive rock such as granite or basalt; it is common in regions that have moderate rainfall.

In detail, the magnetic cores were coated by two successive silica shells embedding two fluorophores (two different silylated dye derivatives), which allows for ratiometric pH-measurements in the pH range 5 8.

Stable isotope (δ18O and δ13C) ratios were measured in successive aragonitic shell sequences of ammonoids (class Cephalopoda) to determine whether their depth distributions changed within ontogeny and whether stable isotope values differ in various morphological groups (e.g. Leiostraca vs. Trachyostraca).

Based on the morphological changes, equivalent with changes in growth stages (e.g. ribbing, morphology and direction of shell), successive ontogenetical stages were reconstructed.
