Elementstrahlung
Elementstrahlung, also known as "elemental radiation," is a phenomenon observed in certain chemical reactions where elements emit radiation in the form of light. This effect is typically seen in reactions involving highly reactive or unstable elements, such as those in Group 17 (halogens) or Group 1 (alkali metals) of the periodic table. The radiation emitted can range from visible light to ultraviolet and even X-rays, depending on the specific elements and conditions of the reaction.
The term "Elementstrahlung" was coined to describe this unique behavior, which is distinct from the more common
Elementstrahlung is not fully understood and is still a subject of ongoing research. The exact mechanisms behind
