Okay... So less simplified it means that the muon is hanging out so close to the nucleus of the helium that it leaves room for another electron to fit at the outermost level... The odd thing is that the entire molecule will have negative charge even though it isn't an ion... Wow.. What the hell?
@anxez No. Not quite. Helium has 2 electrons. 1 gets replaced by a muon. Leaving 1 normal electron (in a normal electron orbit) and 1 muon which has a very low orbit. There a 2 pos charges in the nucleus and 2 negatives - leaving the whole thing neutral.
This leaves only 1 electron available for chemical reaction - so the chemical reactions take place rather like hydrogen (the muon is ignored because its orbit is too low).
I'm a chemist student still early on my university studyes, but i found the naming a bit odd.
The new atom (4.1H) still has a helium nucleus (2proton + 2neutron) so shoudn't it still be named as a helium atom with something indicating it's changed electron status? 4.1H is going to be misleading, because first reaction is, that it's a hydrogen atom with odd mass, and not as a helium atom with odd electron placement.
I think it should keep the Muonic Helium and keep it's (He) as the base symbol.
So in fact they made of two electron shells, an inner one with the myon and an outer one with the electron, so they had Helium that can react because it valence shell had only one electron, did I understand this correctly?
@Canadarocksish I guess they call it this way, because chemically it reacts more like Hydrogen than Helium (I don't know if He reacts at all, maybe with F, maybe not). And I also guess it is 4.1, because the mass of a muon is about 1 tenth of a proton, thus the mass of the atom is 4 + 0.1 = 4.1
@upisoft2 I think it should still be called a helium, since the amount of protons in the nucleus is unchanged. proton count is the only relevant part of atom to determen what is the name of the atom, since you can change electrons to make an ion, and you can change neutrons to make an isotope.
Only changing the protons should ever change the name of the element, and that thing still has the protons of a helium.
@Somezable Actually chemistry is a science that is not interested in atom's nucleus, but rather the electron shell around it. That shell defines the chemical properties of the elements. Actually without particle physics that discovered the nucleus of the atom chemistry was still viable science by itself.
"Your mind is a bit like soup. It has to be stirred up all the time. And then interesting vegetables float to the surface, and so on... and you have new ideas."
Wonderful. I'm simply going to *have* to try this out as my new pickup line at my next party.
@madjimms I would venture to guess not. Pretty much all stable configurations are seen in the wild. And apparently no one has ever seen this form of He before. I suspect it was all over in the accelerator in less than the blink of an eye. I wonder if we'll be seeing more "muon-ated" elements in the future.
Not sure what MrBigape1 is complaining about. The information is not there.
The mass number of muonic He is 4.1 because a muon has 0.1 x the mass of a nucleon (neutron or proton), and, thus, would essentially act as a 0.1 nucleon: mass number = 2 proton + 2 neutron + 0.1 muon nucleon = 4.1 ...
Muonic He, apparently, behaves just like an H isotope (3 neutrons). It's added muon is 200 x heavier than an electron, causing it to travel so close to the nucleus, it becomes part of the nucleus, effectively uniting with a proton to form a virtual neutron. To the remaining outer electron, the nucleus "feels" like it has one proton and three neutrons (two actual neutrons and a virtual neutron consisting of a muon + proton). Thus, muonic He with 1 outer electron chemically behaves like H.
The reaction you describe truly is amazing! I never would have imagined such a thing. Muonic Helium, simply amazing. Does the muon orbit at a lower level than the first electron did? Well it seems that it does. That is too funny, the nucleus can be tricked into thinking its first electron orbit is full, when it really is not, hahah.
@UncleKennybobs wtf? That was a legit question! How about you stop trolling 13 year olds who are way smarter than you and go do something useful, like be a matinience guy at the zoo, or even better, how about you go prove the the first law of thermodynamics wrong and completley disappear off the face of the earth!
Not being a chemistry buff, I have to ask: If helium has two electrons and it's the electrons of a pair of atoms that bond together, why can't one of helium's electrons bond and the other continue unbonded? I don't currently know what would prevent this.
@Tbird761 nature want to have a highest chaos and largest stable status in bounds . if you have a low amount of energies you are stable. so it is energy inefficient to bound . and it doesn't doesn't help enough whit chaos so it is not interesting for the atoms to do the bounding. (that at least what i have learned in chemist lesson )
Correct me if I'm wrong, but does the muon occupy the same shell as the electron? I would guess not because then, Pauli's exclusion principle wouldn't let it bond with hydrogen. Then does that mean they have discovered a lower energy shell than 1s where the muon resides?
This is a very humble man. Not only intelligent, but also wise enough as to publicly recognise he never believed something actually could happen and even praise other scientists works.
@DerAnstifter well of course; he's a professor, it's his job to teach of other peoples' work. If he was a research chemist it would probably be slightly different
Brilliant soup analogy, a mind is a terrible thing to waste. I read with interest an article saying there is a hidden genius in everyone, you just have to work hard at it.
The physics of particles interacting at the atomic and subatomic level are so fascinating -- especially when you realize that they're going on a quadrillion times over just in the room you're in now, every moment... and that what we think of as macroscopic physics is due to the aggregate result of trillions of atoms interacting. Physics at the levels we can see sometimes seem more like crowd behavior or anthropology than pure Newtonianism!
"Again and again for scientists if they hear something surprising that makes them think in a different way, it's really good.
Your mind is a bit like soup, it has to be stirred up all the time.Then interesting vegetables float to the surface and so on.....and you have new ideas. If you just sit there, it all stagnates and it gets boring."
In our physics, we learned about muons last semester when we learned about relativity, but I wouldn't have expected this to be a viable use for these particles.
One question though, if you use a muon for this purpose, what happens to the muon when it disappears (the muon half life is very short), would you some how get a He^+1?
I'm not gonna pretend to understand exactly what he's talking about because its been so many years since i've studied chemistry (back at gcse)....10 seconds into the video all I could think about was eating those mandarines...
..also Prof looks like cool with that funky hair style..
cool i always folow your vidoes this one was pretty cool cuz its little strange and if he wouldnt explanied it to us i would have to google it and if did i wouldnt undrestand any thing cuz they talk too detald and im still in grade 10 :)
@ConsciousAtoms I believe it's more like having the electron to the 1s and the muon's mass make it so slow and closer to the nucleus compared to the electron that the muon is somehow like in 1/2S level, so the electron is now like a valence one
@OursHommePorc I didn't read the article, so maybe I am wrong. But my understanding of quantum mechanics tells me that both the muon and the electron should be in the ground state, because nothing is preventing both from being there. The reason normal helium does not form bonds is the Pauli exclusion principle: helium can only have 2 electrons in their ground state around it (one spin up, the other spin down). Muon helium does not prevent such a bond. (cont'd)
@ConsciousAtoms (cont'd) Another way of looking at it, it seems to me, is by considering the helium nucleus plus muon as a single particle (consisting of 2 protons, 2 neutrons and the muon), with a single electron orbiting around it. In this view the particle can be considered - as the professor explains - as a super heavy (and very unstable, by the way) hydrogen atom.
Awesome tie.

@ConsciousAtoms I believe it's more like having the electron to the 1s and the muon's mass make it so slow and closer to the nucleus compared to the electron that the muon is somehow like in 1/2S level, so the electron is now like a valence one

@OursHommePorc I didn't read the article, so maybe I am wrong. But my understanding of quantum mechanics tells me that both the muon and the electron should be in the ground state, because nothing is preventing both from being there. The reason normal helium does not form bonds is the Pauli exclusion principle: helium can only have 2 electrons in their ground state around it (one spin up, the other spin down). Muon helium does not prevent such a bond. (cont'd)

@ConsciousAtoms (cont'd) Another way of looking at it, it seems to me, is by considering the helium nucleus plus muon as a single particle (consisting of 2 protons, 2 neutrons and the muon), with a single electron orbiting around it. In this view the particle can be considered - as the professor explains - as a super heavy (and very unstable, by the way) hydrogen atom.
