Particle Physics

No, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has not detected the theorized Higgs boson. The LHC was shut down because of some technical difficulties, and it's finally up and running. We're still waiting for results. Fermilab was working on finding the Higgs, but lacks the power to deliver the kinds of acceleration required to set up conditions under which this predicted particle might appear. Links are provided below, and are updated fastidiously.

The color force is another term for the strong nuclear force. (It doesn't have anything to do with actual colors.) Basically, the color force is the force binding two (or more) quarks together; it's mediated by the exchange of gauge particles called gluons. A quark will change color from, say, "red" to "green" by emitting a red-antigreen gluon, which can be absorbed by a "green" quark (which will then change to "red").

energy is given out. this is emitted in the form light ie each atom has its own characteristic emission spectra.

Yes, the gravitational strength of black holes is so powerful that it can "suck in" light, even though it travels at 186,000 miles per second.

Because they are much smaller than an atom

yes, it has less mass.

when quarks will collide it just pass each other as ray light pass other light or another question may be asked what will happen when two ill collide. its real answer is that if quark will be at rest then it will release energy equal to e=mc^2 but in motion is take physics laws under question.

I'm trying to find out more about this. I know that when antimatter comes in contact with regular matter, the particles annihilate each other; and, there must be a huge expenditure of energy. I know that one gram of antimatter dropped in a ton of water can propel a spaceship to Pluto in one week (3.7 billion miles).

According to Einstein's work, three grams (about a "penny") when converted to energy (E=Mc2 means matter is stored energy and vice versa) can bring to boil, 320 Olympic size swimming pools.

Based on my reading of physics books as a fledgling science fiction writer, I say antimatter is stored in magnetic bottles, sort of like a thermos. The magnetism would keep the particles free from contact and in an orderly spin. The bottle, I imagine, must have a perfect vacuum.

This is a chemical element. You can find the how many electron in a single atom by using a periodic table.

Bank 1 is the bank of cylinders containing cylinder 1, which varies from engine to engine among the many V6, V8, & Boxer engines. Sensor 1 is always the "upstream" or Pre catalyst sensor. On most four cylinder or other inline engine configurations, there is only one bank. Sensor 2 would be downstream or after the catalytic converter. Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) p0133 refers to Bank1, Sensor1 being slow to respond. This may point to a failing sensor, or simply an intake or exhaust leak. Any gas leak can lead to unmeterd Oxygen in the system. This code may also be caused by fault wiring or connection on the sensor circuit.

Since the central sulfur has six atoms bound to it, it is sp3d2

QED means quod erat demonstrandum- which was to be demonstrated

In neutral water 10-7 mol/l or 10-7 mol/dm3 if you prefer those units of measure.

the solution may not be neutral (i.e be acidic or basic) in which case the concentration woul be higher or lower.

A tachyon (from the Greek word for "speed") is a hypothetical sub-atomic particle which always travels faster than light. Even it if actually exists, our current physics theories tell us that we will NEVER be able to detect it.

Hydrogen shares its electrons to complete the octate so it gains 1 electrons. it can also its electrons.

An element's atomic number gives its number of protons. Lutetium's atomic number is 71. Thus, it has 71 protons.

electrons that orbit the nucleus of an atom never lose momentum because of the CENTREPETAL FORCE afford by the moving electron.

In our Universe, when you get to things the size of an atom, the rules for how things operate changes from what we are used to. For starters, you can no longer say that an electron acutually HAS a momentum or even a position. Instead, you can only state (1) the probability that an electron has a specific momentum or position and (2) the AVERAGE momentum or position of an electron. And it is NOT the case that we lack the ability to measure these things, or that the electron "knows" these things but we don't -- the momentum and position of electrons are inherently UN-KNOWABLE, even to the electron itself!

Thus, we can not say an electron "loses" its momentum over time, because we can't even say what its momentum IS. And we can't do so because the ELECTRON ITSELF doesn't "know" its own momentum!

Confusing? Don't like this? Sorry -- that's how our Universe operates.

A baryon number is a quantum number related to the difference between the numbers of quarks and antiquarks in a system of subatomic particles.

No not if you mean gain to become a 5- anion. Possibly if you mean share 5 to become a covalent molecule.

This is really a discussion about boron. There are a number of choices for boron, lose 3 to become B3+ , gain 5 to become B5-, share electrons to achieve the octet.

B3+ and covalency look the best options. B3+ does not exist-- reasons the sum of the first 3 ionization potentials for B is high 6900kJ/mol (compared to Al with about 5000 kj/mol), B3+ if formed it would be really small and polarising- and an ionic bond would be impossible. Covalency is a good option, B will form 3 covalent bonds say with a chlorine or hydrogen and then needs an extra 2 say from a ligand with a lone pair such as Cl-, or H- to form tetrahedral anions
