composed of elements, which are substances that cannot be broken down into other substances. Looking at Nitrogen, we can see that the atomic number is seven (number of protons in the nucleus), the symbol is N, and the atomic weight of Nitrogen is 14.01. Nitrogen is one of four elements that make up living cells. A Nitrogen atom has protons and neutron in the central nucleus with two electrons on the inside and four electrons on the outside. Electrons on the outer shell will interact electrons of atoms

reasonably complete experimental set of data supporting the (at that time new from 1911) Ernest Rutherford/Antonius Van den Broek concept of the atom, in which atomic number is understood as representing physically exactly the number of positive charges (protons) in a central atomic

Apple Inc. is a world renowned brand known from the youngest till the oldest generation nowadays. This American international company produces computer software, cell, phones, personal computer and many more. The company was developed on 1st April, 1976 by the co-founders Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak in Cupertino, California. Over the years, Apple created many inventions which revolved the world and opened the window to new markets. Competitors such as Samsung as always had a tough time in coping

an element which consists of a proton (P), neutron (n) and an electron (e). Protons are positively charges, electrons are negatively charged and neutrons have no charges i.e. are neutral. Both the proton and neutron are located inside the nucleus while the electron is located outside the nucleus. Electrons have low mass compared to the weight of the protons and neutrons inside the nucleus. Electrons determine the chemical properties of an atom .the number of protons equals the number of electrons

unit of matter that retains the properties of an element. Atoms consist of positive protons and neutral neutrons which make a nucleus, and negatively charged electrons which orbits around the nucleus in a clouds. Protons Neutrons Electrons Charge Positive Neutral negative Location in atom Nucleus Nucleus Cloud/shell Size Same as neutrons smaller than electrons About the same as a proton Smaller than both protons and neutrons Function They determine the element Stabilize the atom Participate in

the radius of the path, and b) the speed of the electron. Problem 4. A cyclotron designed to accelerate protons has a magnetic field of magnitude 0.45 T over a region of radius 1.2 m. What are a) the cyclotron frequency, and b) the maximum speed acquired by the protons? Problem 5. A cyclotron is designed to accelerate deuterium nuclei. (Deuterium has one proton and one neutron in its nucleus.) a) If the cyclotron uses a 2.0 T magnetic field, at what frequency should

definition can be extended to include charged atoms and molecules, so as to include plasmas (gases of ions) and electrolytes (ionic solutions), which are not obviously included in the atoms and molecules definition. Alternatively, one can adopt the protons Baryonic

similarities between their properties. The modern periodic table lists the elements in order of increasing atomic number (the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom). Historically, however, relative atomic masses were used by scientists trying to organise the elements. This was mainly because the idea of atoms being made up of smaller sub-atomic particles (protons, neutrons and electrons) had not been developed. Nevertheless, the basis of the modern periodic table was well

is 10-10. A simple description of the nucleus tells us that is is composed of protons and neutrons. These two particle types are collectively called nucleons (particles which inhabit the nucleus. In a nucleus, there is two classification, those are the Atomic number which define the number of protons in a nucleus, and the other is the Mass number which is defined as the number of nucleons in a nucleus (number of protons plus the number of neutrons).
