Subatomic particle

1. Describe the structure of an atom, including the subatomic particles, their charges, and their location. An atom is made up of subatomic particles called protons, neutrons, and electrons. The protons carry a positive charge found in the nucleus; neutrons carry no electrical charge and are also found in the nucleus. Electrons carry a negative charge and orbit around the nucleus. 2. Name five characteristics of water and relate them to the structure of water. Water has a high heat capacity…

its known structure has drastically changed over time. What we know as an atom today is composed of many subatomic particles. There is a positively charged center in an atom called the nucleus, which contains protons and neutrons (Doc. 3). The number of protons determine what element the atom is, and the number of neutrons influences the atom’s mass. There are also negatively charged particles, called electrons, to counteract the positive charge of the nucleus. These electrons fly around the…

The stories Conducting Solutions, Energy Story, and the video Hands-On Science with Squishy Circuits have all helped me learn a lot more about electricity. The purpose of these sources were to help the reader to understand and inform the reader about how electricity is made. It also showed how easy it is to make electricity. These three sources have many differences and similarities but they all serve the same purpose. In the video Hands-On Science with Squishy Circuits it talks about how easy…

group of related, fascinating particles, each made up of four quarks, has been found. The finding could hold pieces of information about the advancement of the universe, the analysts said. The four freshly discovered tetraquarks, now called X(4140), X(4274), X(4500) and X(4700), each are made out of two quarks and two antiquarks (the antimatter accomplices of quarks). However each of the freshly discovered particles has an alternate mass and distinctive subatomic properties. They are viewed as…

his interest for the atom is the way that he worked as a research student under JJ Thomson. His work on the molecule Rutherford preformed an experiment that disproved his tutor, JJ Thomson's plum-pudding model. This experiment had to do with alpha particles and what made them diffuse into different directions sometimes.…

Atoms are made up of particles called neutrons, protons and electrons. Electrons have a negative electrical charge, protons have a positive electrical charge, and neutrons have no electrical charge. The neutrons and protons group together in the middle part of the atom, which is called the nucleus. An individual atom atoms will have at least as many neutrons as protons and it will have the same amount of electrons and protons. Atoms have a large amount of energy which holds their nuclei together…

One observes an electron, and it is a particle, like a little bullet, obeying the laws of classical physics; yet as soon as you are not looking it behaves like a wave. Scientists have discovered that if they “watch” a subatomic particle as it passes through slits in a barrier, it behaves like a particle, like an object; it passes through one or the other slits. But if the scientists do not observe the particle then it observes the behavior of a wave. The two-slit experiment…

Due to his discovery this led to many other scientists to look into subatomic particles and examine them closely. Later J.J. had proposed his own model of the atom but was later proved wrong by Ernst Rutherford. J.J. depicted the atom as electrons orbiting a positively charged nucleus and compared it to plum pudding wit the electrons…

The understanding of the atom and the purpose of the atom has changed a over the past couple of years. Today’s society understanding of the atom is completely different compared to the past years. Over the years the understanding of the atom has changed. Scientist have made breakthroughs that have discovered new things and use of the atom.Scientist like J.J Thomson, Ernest Rutherford, and James Chadwick have made it possible for other scientist to improve on their discoveries and change how…

General relativity is fundamentally incompatible with quantum mechanics- they have been at odds with each other since its discovery in 1915- relativity breaks down at the subatomic level and vice versa. A conjecture by two physicists may finally reconcile relativity with quantum mechanics and put an end to the chain of inconsistencies began by Hawking’s information paradox. Albert Einstein first discussed the concept of quantum entanglement in a 1935 paper co-written with his colleagues Boris…
