Textbook Question
Chapter 6, Problem 6.100PAE
6.100 Some spacecraft use ion propulsion engines. These engines create thrust by ionizing atoms and then accelerating and expelling them. According to Newton's laws, this leads to thrust in the opposite direction. Minimizing mass is always important for space applications. Discuss what periodic trends you would need to consider for choosing a material to ionize for engineering designs with this application.
