Particle Physics

Relatively recent experimental results have confirmed what philosophers throughout history had theorized all along; that all matter is made up of elementary particles. Those curious about this cutting-edge field of physics known as particle physics should post their questions here, including those about fundamental particles, fundamental forces, Grand Unified Theories, and the extraordinary devices that have been or need to be engineered to research them.

What is the arrangement of electrons in the electron cloud?

The electron configuration of an atom is the arrangement of electrons in the electron cloud around the nucleus of the atom. This is an indication of the different orbitals that are occupied by electrons in the atom.

What is the electron dot diagram for lead?

"The electron dot diagram is used by scientists to represent electron sharing. The chemical symbol is in the center to represent the nucleus and inner energy level. Dots surrounding the symbol represents the valence electrons."

that is the electron dot Diagram.. Sorry, i cant do more than that....

How many electrons are in the uni-positive ion of sodium?

There are less electrons than protons in a positive ion. More information is needed to determine the exact number.

Here is an example:

How many electrons are in a carbon ion with a positive charge of positive 2e? There are 6 protons in carbon (since it is element number 6). Since it has a charge of +2, there will be 2 less electrons than protons, so the number of electrons would be 4.

How do valence electrons influence molecular bonding?

Since the valence electrons are the outermost electrons of atoms, they have the highest opportunity to overlap with other orbitals in the valence shells of other atoms. Therefore, they influence the most in forming bonds.

Discovery of fundamental particles of an atom?

It seems that you have some kind of question which concerns the discovery of fundamental particles of an atom. Possibly you would like to know who made those discoveries, when they were made, how they were made, what particles were discovered, what the consequences of those discoveries were, or whether any Nobel Prizes were awarded for these discoveries. Good questions, all. But you didn't actually ask any of them. You just suggested a topic. Fundamental particles. They are so tiny, and so hard to discover. Even a microscope cannot see them. You have to use indirect means to observe them. But scientists are clever. They found a way.

How does polarity affect electrons?

By switching from one pH range to another, the compound changes its polarity and its preference for residing in either a polar or non-polar solvent.

What is the sixth quark?

The sixth quark is known as the top quark. It is the most massive of all quarks and was discovered in 1995 at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. The top quark plays a crucial role in understanding the Standard Model of particle physics.

Is photon smaller than neutron?

They are both fundamental particles and therefore points. Points cannot be bigger or smaller than other points.

Quarks are never found alone but many common subatomic particles are not elementary but composed of two or three quarks. Protons and neutrons which make up the nucleus of an atom are themselves composed of three quarks. Such composite particles may be thought of as a small cloud of point particles or as a single ball with a particular diameter.

Photons, on the other hand, don't stick together.

What subatomic particle number determines the identity of an element?

The number of protons, which is the atomic number of an element, determines the identity of an element.

How many electron shells in plutonium?

Electronic configuration of plutonium, ground state: [Rn].5f6.7s2

What is the valence electron configuration for oxygen?

ns2np3

2nd answer :

outer electron configuration is the same as valence electron , you can easily find it in the period table : using the number of the group :

Group 1 : one, Group 2 :two , Group 3-12 cannot be found instead d electron count is used , group 13 : three , Group 14 : four ans so on until Group 18 : Eight

So oxygen is in group 16 so it has 6 outer electron configuration or look to the Nobel gas notation : [He] 2s2 2p4 so count the power of last orbitals 2s 2p so : 6

Do molecules have neutrons?

All stable molecules except hydrogen contain neutrons (and even hydrogen molecules contain some neutrons if you choose a large enough sample, just not many).

The neutrons are found inside the atoms that make up the molecule; only hydrogen-1 (the form of hydrogen that has a nucleus consisting of a single proton) has no neutrons. Any other atom with no neutrons is radioactive and highly unstable (in the sense of "undergoes radioactive decay in fractions of a nanosecond"). On Earth, about one in one million hydrogen atoms is hydrogen-2, which has both a proton and a neutron, and is not radioactive, so around one in 500,000 hydrogen molecules contains a neutron.

What is the electron configuration of elements Br?

argon is because it's the last noble gas used to get to Br.. it's like a short cut, instead of writing 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 4s^2 3d^10 4p^5 you can skip a lot of it by taking th last noble gas used which is the 3p^6(Ar) and continue from there like so: [Ar] 4s^2 3d^10 4p^5

What is the attraction and repulsion forces between subatomic particles?

attraction forces between the electrons of one atom and the nucleus of the other atom are balanced by the repulsive force caused by the two + charged nuclei as they are forced together
~attractive forces have a little attraction for the atoms.

What particle did J. J. Thomson discover?

according to jj thomsons model of an atom,an atom consists of a positively charged sphere with electrons in it.however,it was later found that positively charged particles reside at the center of the atom called nucleus,and the electrons revolve around the nucleus.

Which scientist is credited with discovering the electron?

J.J Thompson discovered the electron. He also performed the Cathode Ray Tube Experiment and that told him that electrons are negative J.J Thompson discovered the electron. He also performed the Cathode Ray Tube Experiment and that told him that electrons are negative

What are some nonexamples of proton?

Can someone answer please! I am trying to do a lab for college at TOWSON UNIVERSITY and cannot go any farther till i get this!

Do neutrons determine the conductivity of the atom?

Neutrons do not directly affect the conductivity of an atom. Conductivity is primarily determined by the number and mobility of electrons in an atom. Neutrons only contribute to the mass of the atom and play a role in stabilizing the atomic nucleus.

What is a quark binding particle?

A quark binding particle is a subatomic particle that interacts with quarks to form larger particles, such as protons and neutrons. Examples include mesons, which are made of a quark and an antiquark bound together by the strong nuclear force. These particles play a crucial role in stabilizing the structure of atomic nuclei.

Mass is measured by using what?

Weight assuming your talking about the force pulling us to the ground is measured in newtons. To find out the amount of newtons an object has you measure its mass(kilograms,grams etc.) and multiply its mass by 10. Example if a book had a mass of 1kg its weight is 10N.

How many neutrons does phosphours have?

There are several isotopes of Phosphorus (P), all of which have 15 protons.

Only one stable isotope exists in nature, having 16 neutrons.

31P has 16 neutrons

32P has 17 neutrons (synthesized radioisotope)
