when any incident rays or electromagnetic radiation collides with a target then a electron releases from the outer shell of the atom or molecule,having a high wavelength.this is called recoiling of electron in compton effect

What is meant by the phrase 'light scattering'?

Light scattering is referred to as a form of scattering in which light is the form of propagating energy which is scattered. Deflection of a ray from a straight path can be thought as light scattering.


What is meant by valency orbit and valency electron?

A valance electron is one that is associated with an atom. The valence orbit is the one that electron travels in.


What is meant by electron density?

Electron density is the measure of the probability of an electron being present at a specific location. In molecules, regions of electron density are usually found around the atom, and its bonds.


Is oxygen a example of a diatomic electron?

No. "Diatomic electron" doesn't make any sense.Oxygen is a diatomic molecule, if that's what you meant.


Can airsoft shotgun stocks fit on a real shotguns?

I'm sure some of them could, but since they are not meant for it they are likely to break under the recoil.

A new ionic species - Na- (it does not exist) Perhaps you meant the loss of an electron? In this case, sodium readily loses an electron to form Na+.


What is meant by electronic theory?

Electronic theory is the theory of the behavior of the electron under various conditions including a free electron, a bound electron in either an outer or inner orbit of the atom.

What is the opposite of oxidising?

If you meant the opposite of oxidation, that would be "reduction". Oxidation is the act of losing an electron, while reduction is the act of gaining an electron.


What is meant by the orbit of an electron?

The path of an electron as it orbits the nucleus. If you mean the orbital, then that is the shell, or level that an electron is on. If you mean the spin, then that's a quality that subatomic particles have (nothing to do with spinning, just a name). An electron's spin is 1/2.


What is meant by excited state of an electron?

When the electrons are at higher energy level,they are said to be excited state.
