41. The energy difference between absorbed and emitted photons depicted in Figure 7 is the solvation contribution to the Stokes shift. 42. The ions of these metals in the + 2 and + 3 oxidation states have a solvation number of 6. 43. Specifically, the use of more electronegative alkali metals or solvents less amenable to cation solvation generates the desired effect. 44. Materials with similar solubility parameters will be able to interact with each other, resulting in solvation , miscibility or swelling. 45. The salt decomposed by polar solvents, due to solvation of the nickel atom where the solvent molecules replace the bromide. 46. This effect is due to a number of factors including increased resonance stabilization and solvation of the products relative to the reactants. 47. In the case of solvation , the solvent molecules will immediately try to rearrange themselves in order to minimize the interaction energy. 48. In this case, it depends on how you define " dissolve "-it may not necessarily mean " solvation ". 49. An alternative explanation for the effect is differential solvation as orders invert on going from the solution phase to the gas phase. 50. Or does the entropy term become significant in solvation reactions ? talk ) 18 : 53, 24 August 2009 ( UTC)
