One of the simplest and best known kinds of crystal is the ionic salt, of which a typical example is sod
51、ium chloride or ordinary table salt. The fundamental components of an ionic salt are ions: atoms or molecules that have e electrically charged by gaining or losing one or more electrons. In forming sodium chloride, for example, sodium atoms give up an electron (thereby ing positively charged) and ch
52、lorine atoms gain an electron (thereby ing negatively charged). The ions are attracted to one another by their opposite charges, and they stack together compactly, like tightly packed spheres.Recently, scientists at Michigan State University created a new kind of crystal called an electride. In elec
53、trides, the anions (negative ions) are completely replaced by electrons, which are trapped in naturally formed cavities within a framework of regularly stacked cations (positive ions). Electrides are the first examples of ionic salts in which all these anionic sites are occupied solely by electrons.
54、Unlike other types of anions, anionic electrons do not behave as if they were simple charged spheres. In particular, because of their low mass and their tendency to interact with one another over great distances, they cannot be “pinned down” to any one location. Instead, they wander close to and amo
55、ng the atoms lining the cavity and interact with electrons in nearby cavities, perhaps changing places with them.The properties of an electride depend largely on the distance between the cavities that hold trapped electrons. When the trapped electrons are far apart, they do not interact strongly, an
56、d so behave somewhat like an array of isolated negative charges. When they are closer together, they begin to display properties associated with large ensembles of identical particles. When they are still closer, the ensemble properties dominate and the electrons “delocalize”: they are no longer tig
57、htly bound within individual cavities but are more or less free to pass through the spaces within the frame-work of positive ions.By synthesizing electrides from a variety of materials, one can vary the geometry of the anionic cavities and their relation to the surrounding cations. The resulting pro
58、perties may make it possible for electrides to e a basis for economically useful new materials and devices. For instance, because the electrons in some electrides are very weakly bound, these crystals could be effective as photosensitive detectors, in which an impinging photon liberates an electron,
59、 resulting in a small electric current. The same weak binding could also make electrides useful in solar-energy converters and as cathodes in batteries. One obstacle is the tendency of electrides to pose through reaction with air and water. Researchers are seeking ways to increase their stability.21

The passage is primarily concerned with discussing(A) a way to isolate electrons(B) the characteristics of a new kind of crystal(C) the structure of an ionic salt(D) commercial uses for electrides(E) the properties of ions22.
