And how much space does it take to hold 1.3 million Earths? And while we’re at it: How does the sun emit energy? Did the sun kick-start life on Earth (and the rest of our solar system)? Does the sun rotate? Why does the sun send out solar flares? Will the burn out? (And ...
How are protons and neutrons similar? How much of a radioactive parent isotope will remain after three half-lives have passed? What is fissile material in nuclear physics? What is decay in nuclear physics? Why does nuclear decay occur?

How much does a linear accelerator weigh? Who discovered the neutron? Are neutrons baryons? If the mass of one neutron is 1.00866 amu, the mass of one proton is 1.00728 amu, and the mass of a 124Cs nucleus is 123.912258 amu, calculate the binding energy for the 124Cs nucleus (MeV/nucl...
○ Tritium, however, is scarce and needs to be bred from lithium, an abundant element, using neutrons produced during the fusion reaction [2, 12, 13, 16-18]. ● Process: The fusion process involves heating a mixture of deuterium and tritium to extremely high temperatures (over 100 million...
Protons have a positive charge, neutrons have a neutral charge, and electrons have a negative charge. Note that the atoms themselves can carry a positive or a negative charge. How? By gaining or losing electrons. The flow of electrons between atoms is what we call electricity. Since our bodi...
The amount of bending, or angle of refraction, of the light wave depends on how much the material slows down the light. Diamonds wouldn't be so glittery if they didn't slow down incoming light much more than, say, water does. Diamonds have a higher index of refraction than water, ...
How much atomic mass does bohrium have? How are the isotopes of a particular element alike? How is the atomic number of an atom determined? What is curium's atomic mass number? How are isotopes different from stable atoms? How many protons and neutrons are in mendelevium?
