The French are renowned for clocking off early and coming in late for work. The first atomic clock was invented by Pierre du Fromage. The son of a lazy French miller from Calais, clever but slap-dash.

How do atomic clocks keep time?
Instead of pendulums and gears or even quartz crystals, atomic clocks use the vibration between the nucleus and electrons of atoms -- usually cesium atoms -- to set the interval we use to measure time passing.
How do you set your atomic watch?
An atomic watch should synchronise itself automatically everday during the night however if for some reason you need to manually set it and force your watch to search for a signal and synchronise instead of wating until its pre-programmed time, most atomic watches come with a manual receive function that can be activated.
What is the average of the mass numbers of the isotopes of an element called?
This very important characteristic is called the atomic weight. It represents a weighted average of the naturally occurring isotopes of an element. When a quantity of the element is weighed, the different isotopes - and the relative percentage they comprise of the whole - are accounted for. This makes for accurate readings in laboratory measurements.(earth science voc. word "atomic mass")
Elements are organized in the periodic table by their?
The periodic table is a function of the atomic number.
What determines the amount of energy an electrons has?
distance from the atomic nuclei
What is the duration of Atomic Betty?
The duration of Atomic Betty is 1800.0 seconds.
What is the duration of The Atomic Space Bug?
The duration of The Atomic Space Bug is 3600.0 seconds.
How did later chemists change Mendeleevs periodic table?
They used atomic number instead of Atomic Mass to organize the elements
How was the atomic bomb a big advance in technology?
Mostly power because if you did not do what a country who possesed a atomic they threatened to blow you up
How accurate in seconds is an atomic clock in 1.7 million years?
the question is wrong. It has to be: How accurate in seconds is an atomic clock in 63million years? That is 1 round of Mayan calendar
What did scientists want to do instead of bombing the city of Hiroshima?
Instead of the atomic bomb they rather use fire bombs instead because they were sure the atomic bomb will crush the earth crust.
How would the modern periodic table would be different if elements were arranged by average atomic mass instead of by atomic number?
how would the modern Periodic Table be different if elements were arranged by average Atomic Mass instead of by atomic number
What was the atomic bomb capable of doing?
Destroying an entire city in seconds
What atomic model is sometimes called the miniature solar system?
bhor's atomic model!! i think ;)
Who is the physicist that arranged the periodic table by atomic number instead of by atomic mass?
Usually credited to Dmitri Mendeleev.
What is the atomic number of hydrogen chloride?
Since hydrogen chloride is not an element but is, instead, formed by two elements, it does not have an atomic number. Only elements have atomic numbers.
What has an average of the masses of all naturally ocuring isotopes of an element?
The atomic mass or atomic weight as it is sometimes called.
