The borders of the periodic table of the elements and of the chart of nuclides are not set in stone. The desire to explore the properties of atoms and their nuclei in a regime of very large numbers of electrons, protons and neutrons has motivated new experimental facilities to create new el...
The partonic (quark and gluon) structure of protons and neutrons is modified in heavy nuclei. This Review surveys how studies of photon-induced interactions reveal the density distribution of partons in nuclei, thereby probing quantum chromodynamics in high-density environments. Spencer R. Klein Heikk...
In the nuclear chart, every square represents an isotope and those in the same line correspond to an element with a given number of protons, Z. Therefore, the different squares along a line are various isotopes of the same element that have a different number of neutrons, N. The stable is...

when it was discovered that atomic nuclei consist of protons and neutrons and the quantum mechanical description of the atomic structure was put forward. The advent of the new quantum mechanics in the mid-1920s and the application to electrons moving around the atomic nucleus made possible to des...
The loss of a beta particle, or electron, from the nucleus increases the atomic number by one unit; the loss of an alpha particle, or helium nucleus (two protons and two neutrons), decreases the atomic number by two units; and the process of electron capture, in which an electron from ...
Thequark-gluon plasma(quark soup) cooled to an ionised plasma of: photons, electrons, positrons, neutrinos, protons and neutrons.Initiallythe temperature was so high that the protons and electrons could combine into neutrons: proton + electron ⇄ neutron ...
element period (row), the overall size of atoms decreases slightly. Even though atoms further to the right have more protons, neutrons, and electrons, the outer electron shell is the same. The increased number of protons exerts a stronger positive charge, pulling the electrons in toward the ...
would have 7 neutrons, as 13 – 6 = 7. Carbon-14 would have 6 protons and 6 electrons, as usual, but this isotope would have 8 neutrons, as 14 – 6 = 8. Sometimes, compounds can be ions as well. Remember, we said ions were elements with a positive or negative charge. Well, io...
