What is the main purpose of a particle accelerator?
The main purpose of a particle accelerator is to generate synchrotron radiation or to smash atomic nuclei together or into a target to see what is produced from the energy of the impact. The results then inform which theoretical physical models are incorrect and occasionally which models have a valid experimental basis.
Does a particle need to have an electrical charge to be used in a particle accelerator?
Yes, a particle used in a particle accelerator must have a charge to be useful in the device. Particle accelerators we use in high energy physics to investigate things all work by applying a moving or shifting magnetic field to accelerate charged particles. We speed these particles up by repeatedly "hitting" them with a magnetic field. Uncharged particles will not respond to this, and canot be used in the devices.
What is large hydrogen colider?
You probably mean Large Hadron Collider. It is a particle accelerator (biggest in the world) at CERN in Switzerland. It is designed to accelerate nuclei of heavy atoms and collide them to study high energy reactions and see if new unknown subatomic particles can be discovered. Hadrons are the class of particles including protons, neutrons, and mesons. Large refers to the size of the machine, not the size of the hadrons. The first particle they hope to find is the "Higgs Boson", which according to some new theories determines the mass of all other subatomic particles.
How fast do particles move in a particle accelerator?
The most advanced ones accelerate particles 99.9999% the speed of light. Although some people have claimed that they create black holes, they most certainly do not- this would require ten trillion times the energy available.
What subatomic particle contains the energy stored in chemical bonds?
isotope.
Is a particle accelerator used to provide charged particles with sufficient kinetic energy to penetrate a nucleus?
yes it is a particle accelerator ;D
Is it possible to get more speed then light to the particle with accelerator?
No. The more energy the accelerator can give the particle, the closer the particle can approach to the speed of light, but it can never reach exactly that speed.
The main purpose of a particle accelerator is to?
accelerate charged particles to high energy
What causes an atom to split into smaller particles?
The large amount of energy imparted upon it in a particle accelerator.
Why do scientists use particle accelerator?
Einstein proved that energy and mass were equivalent (Energy = Mass times the velocity of light squared). In a particle accelerator energy is applied to accelerate particles to almost the velocity of light. When this fast moving particles impact another (going in the opposite direction or a target) the energy carried by the particle is converted into mass. New matter (particles) are briefly created and the scientists try and detect these so as to understand the fundamental properties of the universe.
A particle accelerator can increase the kinetic energy of?
Particle accelerators are used to initiate collisions which have enough energy to overcome nuclear forces. They can be used to understand the workings of a star or to build entirely new [short lived] elements. The answer is D. All of the above.
What is the name of the Particle accelerator complex located beneath the Franco-Swiss border?
It is called the CERN accelerator complex. The complex consists of the following Particle accelerators: Linear accelerator I & II, Proton Synchrotron Booster, Low energy ring, Proton Synchrotron, Super proton snchrotron, and the Large Hadron Collider (as of Oct 18, 2009.)

Easy things to build?
Linear Particle Accelerator Electron Microscope Quantum Computer A device that can reduce the entropy of a system with no net expenditure of energy
What is the result of the Large Hadron Collision?
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world's largest and highest-energy particle accelerator, intended to collide opposing particle beams of either protons at an energy of 7 TeV (1.12 microjoules) per particle, or lead nuclei at an energy of 574 TeV (92.0 microjoules) per nucleus. The term hadron refers to particles composed of quarks. It is expected that it will address the most fundamental questions of physics, hopefully allowing progress in understanding the deepest laws of nature. The LHC lies in a tunnel 27 kilometres (17 mi) in circumference, as much as 175 metres (574 ft) beneath the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva, Switzerland.
