Verified step by step guidance1
The term 'CEU' in the context of atomic structure stands for 'Coulomb Energy Unit'.
Coulomb Energy refers to the energy associated with the electrostatic interaction between charged particles.
In atomic structure, this concept is important for understanding the forces between electrons and the nucleus, as well as between electrons themselves.
The Coulomb Energy Unit is used to quantify these interactions, which are crucial for determining the stability and behavior of atoms.
Understanding Coulomb Energy helps in explaining phenomena such as ionization energy, electron affinity, and the formation of chemical bonds.
