Neutron

about quantum physics and makes a story about it, making it more understandable. Key Idea 1 Bosons are particles that follow Bose-Einsteins statistics. It makes up one of the two classes of particles, the other is fermions. Fermions are electrons, neutrons, and protons. Boson is mesons, alpha particles, and photons. Boson statistics do not restrict the number of them that occupy the same quantum state. There are two levels of states, excited state and ground state. Quantum states are controlled…

Telescope with computers they could make maps of dark matter throughout the universe. Since then a scramble has been going on to find out what dark matter is. Some think its like ordinary matter, but very dim or maybe made out of brown dwarfs, neutron stars, or black holes which are nearly invisible. Some think that it consists of nonbaryonic matter, like neutrinos (considered hot dark matter) since they move so fast (almost light speed) they can't account for most of the clumping of dark…

the structure of its atoms 2. Below is a model of an atom of helium, correctly label the electrons, protons, neutrons, and atomic nucleus. 3. What is the atomic number of helium? _________ Its atomic mass? ________ 4. Consider this entry in the periodic table for carbon. What is the atomic mass? ______ atomic number? _______ How many electrons does carbon have? _______ neutrons? _______ 5. What are isotopes? Use carbon as an example. 6. Explain radioactive isotopes and one…

Glenn Seaborg was born on April 19, 1912, in the town of Ishpeming, Michigan. His mother was an immigrant from Sweden and taught him the Swedish language before he learned English. When he was 10, he and his family moved to the suburbs of Los Angeles, where he was raised for the remainder of his childhood. As a child, he was so shy, his mother would have to arrange with his teachers to take trips to the bathroom since he was too shy to raise his hand. Also, during elementary school he was not…

Describe the development of single dish radio telescopes and advantages of radio interferometers. Discuss major discoveries that were possible after detection of radio waves from space and how they changed our understanding of Universe. Astronomy is all about increasing our understandings about our Universe through observing objects like stars, galaxies and other bodies which exist outside Earth’s atmosphere. Astronomers make observations of these celestial phenomena by collecting…

Aristotle’s Four Causes in Science Explanation is basic human nature. It began as a way to pass blame onto another person, then onto God or gods. This changed with the ideas of Archimedes of Syracuse. Archimedes was a mathematician, physicist, and inventor who was responsible for the discovery of buoyancy and the invention of both the siege engine and screw pump. After his discoveries, the popular view on explanation was modified. Instead of divine powers intervening in the world, people…

Humans rely on the use of five senses to understand the world around us; taste, touch, sight, hearing and smell. One of the most used in our daily life is sight. Just take a moment and think about every thing you have seen since you got up this morning. Although you might not know it there is a complex proses of perceiving being done by your eyes each time you open them. Everyday our brains are overwhelmed with all of the images provided by our eyes. So how do we make sense of what is important…

As nuclear power plants emit nuclear energy that are sought out to be more beneficial than harmful, are you aware of the dangers that accommodate this resource? To assist in educating the general public about these power plants that mankind has greatly relied on, it is of my privilege to present the primary information of power plants followed by one of the top, level 7, catastrophic disaster of all time caused by this source. Collectively, worldwide, there are a total of 440 commercial…

Roosevelt warning of a calamitous event if the United States failed to develop an atomic bomb before Germany. By mid-July of 1939, Germany had advanced its findings of isotope separation, which could of been used to achieve a “fast- neutron chain reaction in U-235, the basis of the atomic bomb.” This was shocking to the group of physicists, and as a result they reported to the White House and spoke with Alexander Sachs, who was an informal advisor to President Roosevelt and was aware…

Nuclear power involves shooting neutrons at uranium 235 atoms. This causes the uranium atom to split, creating heat. This heat is then transferred into the primary coolant. This is heated to over 600º F. The pressurised water reactor keeps the water under pressure, preventing it from boiling…
