Chapter 2 Quantization of Minerals and their Interactions with Remote Sensing Photons

In the previous chapter, we demonstrated that atoms of elements, for example oxygen and silicon, are the keystone in the majority of mineral formations. Minerals are homogeneous and makeup of only one compound, but rocks form from combinations of minerals.

Therefore, atoms, molecules, and the essential electron and proton charges are all examples of physical entities that are quantized, that is, they exist merely in convinced discrete values and do not possess all conceivable value. Quantized is the opposite of continuous. For instance, a fraction of an atom is impossible to be obtained, or part of an electron’s charge, or 14-1/3 cents. Rather, the entirety ...
