structure on a totally different way. The same relativity worked for an atom – some time ago people agreed and believed it to be the smallest indivisible particle. But later this agreement was understood to be wrong by the discovery of electrons and protons. The time passed and people found quarks. And now a new agreement is made by the acceptance of Higgs boson. In science the chain of accepted facts is endless, as the humankind is revealing more and more. On this point one could remember the definition

that decays into second substance that also decays? First, the substance always decays because the initial stage is not stable. Lack of stability forces the substance to decay into a second substance with a loss of either an electron, energy or a proton. If the second substance is not stable, it will disintegrate into the third substance. This process might continue until the substance gain stability. 6. Is it possible to estimate the half-life of a substance in a single throw? How accurate might

Uranium is a common radioactive element found in abundance mainly in the Earth’s crust. Uranium-235 (U-235) is the most significant variety of uranium, used in the production of nuclear power and nuclear weapons. Nuclear power is commonly recognized as a potentially problematic and, to a certain degree, dangerous source of generating electrical energy. However, the manageability and advantages of uranium mining trigger a debate within the public: do the benefits of uranium mining outweigh the potential

Nucleophilic Substitution (SN1 Vs SN2) Nucleophilic substitution is the reaction of an electron pair donor (the nucleophile, Nu) with an electron pair acceptor (the electrophile). An sp3-hybridized electrophile must have a leaving group (X) in order for the reaction to take place. Mechanism of Nucleophilic Substitution The term SN2 means that two molecules are involved in the actual transition state: The departure of the leaving group occurs simultaneously with the backside attack by the nucleophile

Dark matter is everywhere, shooting through you every second of your day. You must ask yourself the question of how a particle so heavy in mass, a particle that can influence whole galaxies in the way they spin and their positioning in the universe, is still yet to be detected? This is down to the fact it doesn’t interact with light at all, it is literally ‘invisible’. Dark matter is the building blocks of the universe, without it, star systems like the Milky Way would cease to exist. Dark matter

Afleveringsopgaver Opgave 44: Verdens største accelerator I acceleratoren sendes protoner hver sin vej rundt i to cirkelformede rør. Protonerne bevæger sig i en cirkelformet bane med en omkreds på 26,659km, og hver proton gennemfør et løb på 8,8925 ∙ 10-5 s. a) Hvis at protonernes fart er meget tæt på lysets fart: Lysets hastighed i vakuum: 3 ∙ 108 26,659km=26659m 26659m8,8925∙10-5s=2,9979∙108ms≈3∙108ms Acceleratorens ene rør indeholder 3,09 ∙ 1014 protoner, som bevæger sig rundt i
