What is the maximum thrust of an ion thruster?
First of all, the speed of light needs 10googleplexso the speed of an ion thruster might be at least 1 out of 1000000000000000000000 of that speed so if you take that into mind you get at least 400010 pounds of thrust. But can somebody add to this, i dont now if that is right or not.
Can anyone tell me about Ion propelled rockets?
Ion propelled rockets use the noble gas Xenon. It is used as plasma, which is the fourth state of matter. Since plasma is found everywhere on the planet, refueling is quite simple. Electric energy must be used for this, instead of chemical.
What happens when you lose or gain an electron?
As a neutral atom lose an electron then it becomes a positive ion As it gains an electron then it becomes a negative ion
What happens when a atom loses an electron?
Forms an ion. e.g if chlorine loses an electron it will go form Cl2 ---> cl2+
As a puck falls what happens to the potent-ion energy?
When an object falls, the potential energy gets converted to kinetic energy.
What noble gas has the same configuration as an iodide ion?
I- ion (iodine ion and not iodine) and xenon will have the same number of electrons (54 electrons)
What kind of ion does xenon form?
It is a nob,e gas so very rarely forms an ion but when it does it is an even cation.
What are the most common Xenon Ion?
Xenon does not readily form an ion.
What ion charge does xenon have?
the Xenon itself is an electron, so it doesn't have an ion charge
Does xenon form a monatomic ion?
No. Xenon does not form ions.
Is Xenon cation anion?
Xenon is a bob,e gas, which means that it can't form any cation or anion by itself. If it joins any other element, then it can form an ion.
When do you use xenon?
Xenon applications are: - filling gas for many types of lamps - lasers - anaesthesia - propellant for ion propulsion spacecrafts - in radioisotope imaging - in nuclear magnetic resonance etc.
Is Xenon a Ion?
No, it is a neutral element.

What is the most stable ion of Xenon?
The neutral state.
What is the use of xenon gas?
Xenon produces a beautiful blue glow when excited by an electrical discharge. Xenon lamps have applications as high-speed electronic flash bulbs used by photographers, sunbed lamps and bactericidal lamps used in food preparation and processing. Xenon lamps are also used in ruby lasers. Xenon difluoride is used to etch silicon microprocessors. Xenon ion propulsion systems are used by satellites.
What happens if you add an electron to chlorine gas?
It becomes a negatively charged ion.
