{"cc_re__cc_re__cc_by_sa_3_0": ["ns in a nucleus. Electrons that are bound to atoms possess a set of stable energy levels, or orbitals, and can undergo transitions between them by absorbing or emitting photons that match the energy differences between the levels. The electrons determine the chemical properties of an element, and strongly influence an atom's magnetic properties.</p></p>\n\t</article>\t\n\t\n\t<div class=\"wiki-credit\">\n\t\tThis text uses material from <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/Atom\">Wikipedia</a>,\n\t\tlicensed under <a href=\"http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/\">CC BY-SA</a>\n\t</div>\n\n    </section>\n    \n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t    <p class=\"rss-box\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img class=\"rss-icon\" width=\"14\" height=\"14\" src=\"http://cdn.phys.org/tmpl/v4/img/icons/icon-rss.png\" alt=\"rss\">\n\t\t\t\t\tSubscribe to <a href=\"http://phys.org/rss-feed/tags/atoms/\">rss feed</a>\n\t\t\t\t    </p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t    \n\t<script type=\"text/javascript\"><!--\n        google_ad_client = \"ca-pub-0536483524803400\";\n        /* Phys.org - Tags page 2 */\n        google_ad_slot = \"1038251535\";\n        google_ad_width = 336;\n  "], "copyright__copyright__copyright": [" the University of Bristol, in collaboration with colleagues at the Central Laser Facility at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) and Heriot-Watt University (HWU), can now follow chemical ...\n\nJan 30, 2015\n4.9 / 5 (12) 0\n\nTwo or one splashing?
