The ordinary carbon we find in the world around us is sometimes called carbon-12. It has six protons, six electrons, and six neutrons, so its atomic number is 6 and its relative atomic mass is 12. But there's also another form of carbon called carbon-14, with six protons, six ...
Bits of quartz (a common mineral in the earth's crust) will break in an unusual way only from intense heat and pressure. The only other place shock-fractured quartz is found is at ground zero of atomic explosions (where a nuclear bomb is exploded). Common elements also act differently ...
During the early 2000s physicists at Russia’s Dubna facility began generating element 118, oganesson2, by fusing calcium and californium one atom at a time. All superheavies are radioactive and many are very short-lived (less than a millisecond for oganesson), so none would be practical for...
