However, when an electron goes to a metastable state, it remains there for a relatively longer duration of 10 " 3 seconds.
22.
Moreover, many substances can exist in metastable states, such as with negative pressure, that survive only transiently and in very special conditions.
23.
:a ) The normal editing process for pages with such content insures that such pages quickly reach a metastable state governed by community consensus.
24.
These compounds dissociate spontaneously at ordinary pressures, but at very low temperatures they will survive long enough in a metastable state to be studied.
25.
It has a half-life of 30 years, and decays by pure beta decay to a metastable state of barium-137 ( ).
26.
It is in a metastable state and will decay within 10 " 15 s, determinable by x-ray fluorescence or by the Auger effect.
27.
The listed value in the table corresponds to a selected low-lying metastable state, which may or may not be the lowest energy resonance.
28.
It is only found in a metastable state, and decomposes rapidly by losing most of its water content once removed from near-freezing water.
29.
Thus a metastable state is one for which the free energy change between reactants and products is not minimal even though the composition does not change in time.
30.
A grain with six boundaries ( i . e . hexagonal structure ) are in a metastable state ( i . e . local equilibrium ) within the 2D structure.
