A proton–electron union must form a neutron. Both the charge and the mass have to match. Charge-wise, the positively charged proton will interact with the negatively charged electron to form a neutron, but the match of mass is improbable. The mass of a proton...
We know that the negative charge on the electron and the positive charge on the proton are equal.Suppose,however,that these magnitudes differ from each other by 0.00007%.With what force would two copper pennies,placed 1.2 m apart,repel each other?Assume that each coin contains 3 multiplied by...
〈Homework01_Ch17 Problem17.20 Two electrons are each2.30×10-10mfrom a proton, as shown in(Figure1),find the magnitude and direction of the net electrical force they will exert on the proton. Figure 1of1 1of1 There are 2 ste...
The very first electron shell only holds two electrons. A hydrogen atom (atomic number 1) has one proton and a lone electron, so it can readily share its electron with the outer shell of another atom. A helium atom (atomic number 2), has two protons and two electrons. The two electrons...
A woman in Massachusetts has done something remarkable. My buddy Jeff told me his wife Annie hikes a lot on trails through the woods. Over the years, she has collected pieces of wood resembling all 26 letters of the alphabet. That takes a good eye and a great amount of patience. He po...
In 1971 Hawking investigated the creation of the Universe and predicted that, following the big bang, many objects as heavy as 109 tons but only the size of a proton would be created. These mini black holes have large gravitational attraction governed by general relativity, while the laws of ...
Most fusion schemes involve isotopes of hydrogen, which normally has only a single proton in its nucleus, deuterium (which has a neutron as well) and radioactive tritium (which has two neutrons). In the most commonly considered reaction, two deuterium nuclei slam together at high speed, fusing...
