well, that wont put me into sleep dep. I go into rem about 4 minutes after falling asleep. i actually sleep BETTER in 1 hour cat naps. (And ive just found, thats a main symptom of narcolepsy. explains a lot actually)
Something to remember. electrons don't actaully orbit the nucleus. they bounce around randomly, perhaps actually appearing and dissapearing, or, tunneling, within vague cloud like areas known as orbitals (because of the old Neils Bohr orbital model of the atom. ) These orbitals are actually what cause the transmission spectrums, the transmission spectra is based on an electron absorbing energy, temporarily getting a boost up to a higher orbital, then dropping back down in rank to where it was before. releasing a photon that is the exact energy, and thus frequency (and thus color) of the amount of energy difference between the two states. This is why each atom has a pretty unique spectrum, its based in large part on the top filled orbitals. When electrons are "shared" in a chemical bond, they bounce back and forth between the filled orbitals of the paired atoms, spending weekends with daddy and weeks with mommy (mommy being the most electronegative of the pair, if they arent the same atom) Now, this fact, based on the distances involved in chemical bonds, means that the electrons are jumping at least the actual radius of the atom more than they were before. And, i recall a video i saw in chemistry long ago that showed mapping of this electron motion. Basically, it showed the general shape of an orbital , the p orbital as i recall, formed by mapping the position of the electron as it moved. there were several outliers, like, edge of the screen dots. I asked my prof at the time if that meant the electron was now and then bouncing way outside of the orbital. His statement, i don't think so, i think its just noise, but it might be. (Favorite chem teacher ever. Was not afraid to say, I don't know. ) might that form of electron tunneling be your radio signal? jumping to orbitals that are the exact same energy, because its the same element at the same energy state?
