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.

Which subatomic particle is found farthest from the nucleus?
Electrons are the subatomic particles found farthest from the nucleus in an atom. They move around the nucleus in defined energy levels or orbitals.
Who discovered electrons are found in electron clouds not paths and what year?
Yes the paths make the atom easier to read than having to draw electrons all over the atom model
Has 114 neutrons within its nucleus?
Osmium, if you take the Atomic Mass (190.2) and subtract the Atomic number (76), you get the result of 114, this is the number of protons, not the protons and neutrons combined.
What are the atoms are made up of three subatomic particles called?
strictly speaking, not atoms but parts of them: you are thinking of the Proton, Neutron and electron, as basic atomic PARTICLES. there are others such as the Meson and positron known mainly to atomic scientists and that"s about it. the three basic Nuclear building blocks- are Proton, Neutron, and Electron. Zap!
An antineutron is the antiparticle of a neutron, meaning it has the same mass as a neutron but with opposite charge. When a neutron and an antineutron interact, they can annihilate each other, releasing energy in the form of other particles. Antineutrons are commonly produced in high-energy particle physics experiments.
What subatomic particles can move up or down in energy?
Electrons can move up or down in energy levels within an atom. When an electron gains energy, it can move to a higher energy level, and when it releases energy, it can move to a lower energy level or return to its original state. These energy changes are related to the absorption or emission of light.
What do people do at fermilab?
At Fermilab, people conduct research in particle physics, focusing on understanding the fundamental particles and forces of the universe. Scientists use particle accelerators to study the behavior of subatomic particles and investigate the properties of matter. Fermilab also provides educational programs and opportunities for scientists to collaborate on cutting-edge research projects.
How many electrons does fluorine-19 have?
Fluorine-19 (not "flourine-19) has an atomic number of 9 and therefore has 9 each of protons and electrons. The number of neutrons is found by subtracting the atomic number from the atomic mass number: 19 - 9 = 10 neutrons.
How many electrons are there in one coulomb charge?
An electron has a charge of about 1.6 x 10-19 Coulombs (the fundamental or elementary charge)
So we can use a proportion and cross multiply it to find this out.
Let x = # of electrons
( 1 electron / 1.6 x 10-19 C) = ( x / 1 C )
= 1/1.6 x 10-19 electrons = 1019/1.6electrons
1019/1.6electrons = 6.25 x 1018 electrons
(6250000000000000000 electrons)
If you wanted to say that number:
six quintillion, two hundred fifty quadrillion electrons
What 3 subatomic particles make up an atom what are their charges?
Positively charged protons, neutral neutrons and negatively charged electrons
Where can you get a warp drive and how much do they cost?
Warp drives currently only exist in science fiction. If they were to be developed in the future, it would likely be by a government space agency or a large aerospace company. The cost of such technology is impossible to predict at this time.
What does the wave models say about electrons?
Wave models describe electrons as both particles and waves. They predict the probability distribution of finding an electron in a specific location around the nucleus of an atom, rather than a specific trajectory. The wave nature of electrons is central to quantum mechanics and explains various phenomena such as electron diffraction and the quantization of energy levels in atoms.
What are subatomic structures called?
Subatomic structures are called particles, such as protons, neutrons, and electrons. These particles make up atoms, which are the building blocks of matter.
What atoms or ion has 47 protons 60 neutrons and 46 electrons?
The element (or particular atom) with 48 protons 48 electrons in it, is always with the atom number 48 (same as proton number).
So it is Cadmium, symbol Cd, belonging to group 12, period 5 (d-block transition metals) in the periodic table.
If it has 66 neutrons one should look after one of the possible isotopes mass number 114, because 66 neutrons + 48 protons = 114 mass number.
So this is the one to be: 110Cd, appearance >29% from total occurring natural isotopes
Stable, though expected to be radioactive: double beta decay, but its halftime is very long.
What is the nickname for a particle accelerator?
The nickname for a particle accelerator is often "atom smasher" because it is used to accelerate and collide particles at high energies to study their fundamental properties.
What does the subatomic particle do?
Protons and neutrons are the components of the atomic nucleus; the number of protons is equal to the atomic number, the most important parameter for a chemical element. Electrons surround the nucleus and are responsible (the last level) for the chemical properties of elements.
What is the abbreviated electron configuration for an atom of sodium?
the abbreviated electron configuration of sodium is
(Ne) 3s1
How many shells are in the iodine?
there is 2 in the first, 8 in the other and then there is ... ............ ....................... ............................... 9, yes 9, in the outer shell, the only atom to have 9 in the outer shell, except for Browningulain
What is a subatomic particle called?
Examples: proton, muon, boson Higgs, positron, antineutron, tau neutrino etc.
What are positiely charged subatomic particles?
Of the hundreds of subatomic particles, many have an electric charge. The best-know particle with a positive charge is the proton.
Subatomic particles are considered only protons, neutrons, electrons. The other particles form the large group of elementary particles (which includes also p, n and e).
What subatomic particle has a very small mass and a negative charge?
Electrons have a negative charge. When an element had more electrons than protons, it tends to have a negative charge.
What are Protons and Neutrons called when they are made up of smaller particles?
Protons and neutrons are made up of smaller particles called quarks. Each proton and neutron is composed of three quarks: protons are made up of two up quarks and one down quark, while neutrons consist of one up quark and two down quarks.
The probable location of an electron in an electron cloud is where?
The electron cloud is a volume of space around an atomic nucleus. It comprises of a space of probability. It is the volume of space where electrons can "probably" be found, or have a probability of being found.
