Quark

part of today’s generation. It’s used in some of the objects that we use such as; MRI’s, CD’s, DVD’s, LED lights and etc. Another concept in the atomic theory is called the quark. Quarks are the building blocks of matter. The most common names for quarks are up and down quarks. Other names would be charm, strange quarks, top and bottom. There are many factors involved with the atomic theory. Antimatter is its name exactly. Practically most of qualities that regular matter has is in…

The Atomic Theory states that all matter is composed of discrete units called atoms. The Atomic Theory started in about 400 BCE with a scientist by the name of Democritus. Democritus proposed the idea of the existence of an ultimate particle. He called this particle atomos when he was describing it, because the particle was too small to cut. Next, we get to Leucippus. Leucippus was the man who founded atomism, which is a theoretical approach that states nature consists of two principles, which…

considered the smallest particle in existence. From approximately 460 BC to present day 2015, human knowledge about atomic particles has drastically changed. Over the years, research has led to new discoveries involving atoms, subatomic particles, and quarks. Several philosophers including Leucippus, Democritus, Dalton, Thomson, Rutherford, and Gell-Mann have contributed to humanity 's vast knowledge about atomic particles. As technology develops, our perception of atomic particles continues to…

The atomic theory has revolutionized the field of science. The ideas behind it began in the times of Ancient Greece. From there the ideas were put under trial, proven, disproven, and formed into what we now recognize as the atomic theory. Since the beginning of time, people believed that matter was made from a few fundamental building blocks. In ancient times, these fundamental elements were thought of as water, fire, earth, and air. Around 400 BCE, Democritus and Leucippus developed a…

electrons that are in constant motion.The electrons are in electron clouds, or where they go in the atom. The proton, p+ and neutrons jiggle in the nucleus and quarks are jiggling within them. Electron orbits have different sub-levels, the s,p,d, and f orbitals. The strange quark is the third lightest of all quarks. The top quark is the truth quark and is a fundamental constituent of matter, a corpuscle is also like this but deals with light. The opposite of an electron or antielectron is a…

photon. Stimulated emission is the process in which an incoming photon can interact with an atomic electron that has been excited, causing it to drop to a lower energy level. Key Idea 5 Quarks are the most vital form of matter. Strong interacting particles are bound together by groups of quarks. The boson of a quark and an antiquark are strongly bounded together because of the exchange of virtual particles. Some have a positive or negative charge but the amount of energy is the same.…

Robert Crowley Mr. Scott Period 3 October 30th 2015 Chemistry Introduction and Overview Elements are the substances that make up everything in the universe, known and unknown. This means that elements are what make up matter, and everything you see, hear and touch. There are 118 elements known to man, some that you may know include gold, iron and oxygen. Each of these have distinguishing qualities and they come in 3 different states of matter, solid, liquid and gas. Some of these are…

conclusions about the atom. We have come a long ways since the beginning when the atom was viewed as unsplittable. Now we understand quarks, that are most stable as protons, and neutrons, which can bind together to create hadrons. We have created the large hadron collider which is the world's biggest particle accelerator. We also know that strong force is what binds quarks together in clusters, and weak force as the force that decays nuclear…

“Every scientist has their own quirks.” I guess you could label me as a scientist since I was working in a lab under the chemistry professor who said that. I quickly thought of what my own quirk was, and then it dawned upon me; my quark is my speech disfluency. Throughout the latter half of my maturing years, I’ve had to come to an abrupt stop in the middle of my sentences because I physically couldn’t pronounce the start of the next word—vowels usually being the culprit, but sometimes even…

The Big Bang Theory is the current theory of the origin of the universe that has largely been accepted by scientists, however it is not one hundred percent correct as modifications of the theory is continuously being developed as new discoveries, observations and calculations are being made. In the beginning in the universe, there was nothing, no space, no matter, no light, no time and no sound. Then there was a sudden explosion of energy which we now call the Big Bang. But there was no BANG…
