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.

How many protons does a nuclei need to be radioactive?

The elements above Atomic number 86 generaly redioactive.

As atomic number represents the number of protons,above A.N 86 the elemens will be radio active in specific conditions.exception,C-13 is a radioactive isotope of carbon.

How many electrons are in the outter shell of gold?

The electron shells in gold and the number of electrons in each one are as follows: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d10 4s2 4p6 5s2 4d10 5p6 4f14 5d10 6s1 Gold has 79 electrons in its neutral state, one for every proton in its nucleus. Because this is a lot of "work" to write out, we often "abbreviate" the electron configuration notation. We do this by writing the chemical symbol of the noble gas with an atomic number below that of the element we wish to identify, and then just "add the rest" of the electron notation above that. We call this noble gas notation or configuration. For gold, the noble gas below gold on the periodic chart is xenon (Xe). Here's the "new" notation (using xenon as an identifier) for the gold: [Xe] 4f14 5d10 6s1 Note that the three shells beyondxenon that describe gold (4f14 5d10 6s1) are identical to the last three in the "long version" of the notation. They must be, as both are expressions of the electron configuration of gold. Wikipedia has additional information of gold, and a link is provided.

Do atoms with many electron shells let go of their electrons easier than fewer shells?

More the number of shells in an atom, more away will be the electrons from the nucleus. Hence, weaker will be the attraction between nucleus and outermost electrons. So atom with more shells will let go their electrons easier than atoms with fewer shells.

How can the corona stop most subatomic particles from escaping into space even though it is not very dense?

The corona is able to stop most subatomic particles from escaping into space due to its strong magnetic fields that can trap and redirect charged particles. Despite being less dense, the corona's magnetic fields play a crucial role in retaining particles within its boundaries.

How many quarks could fit in the sun?

If a quark has a length of 1×10-18m, and if the volume of a quark could be calculated by using this length as it's diameter, then:

The volume of a quark would be 5.236x10-49m

And if the volume of the sun is about 1.409 x 1018km3 (or 1.409x1027m3), then the number of quarks that could fit in the sun would be:

1.409x1027m3 / 5.236x10-49m3 = 0.269x1076 or 2.69x1075 or 2.69 Quattuorvigintillion quarks.

It should be noted that this is an approximate number, based on the length of an up-quark or a down-quark. As well, the volume for the sun is also approximate.

What subatomic particle determines how a atom interacts with another atom?

The electrons in an atom determine how it interacts with other atoms. Electrons are negatively charged particles that orbit the nucleus of an atom in specific energy levels, and their arrangement and movement play a key role in chemical bonding and interactions between atoms.

Where can you find the smallest subatomic particle?

This particle is the electron with a mass of 5,485 799 094 6(22)×10−4 amu.

Corbon constists of 6 proton and 6 neutron.its mass is 12u by definition.The masses of proton and neutron are 1.007276 and 1.008665 respectively.What is the mass of defect of Carbon?

The total mass of 6 protons and 6 neutrons would be 12.092166 u (6 protons x 1.007276 u + 6 neutrons x 1.008665 u). The actual mass of carbon is 12 u, so the mass defect would be 0.092166 u (12.092166 u - 12 u).

How many Valence Electrons does HCN have?

HCN, hydrogen cyanide, has a total of 10 valence electrons. Hydrogen contributes 1 valence electron, carbon contributes 4 valence electrons, and nitrogen contributes 5 valence electrons.

How many electron volts is equal to joule?

A joule is the work done by applying 1 watt of power for 1 second (J = W x Time in seconds).

1 Watt is 1 Amp at 1 Volt potential (W = Amps x Volts).

1 Amp is 1 coulomb of electrons flowing in a second.

1 coulomb is 6 241 509 629 152 650 000 electrons.

Thus it would appear that there are 6,241,509,629,152,650,000 electrons in a joule, except that 1 Joule could be 2 watts for half a second (or 4 W for 0.25 seconds).

Also 1 Watt could be 2 Amps and half a volt, or .01 Amps at 100 Volts!

The question has no one answer, it has an infinity of possible answers unless more parameters are dictated.

What are the subatomic particles in atomic structure?

The subatomic particles in an atom are protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus of the atom, while electrons orbit around the nucleus in various energy levels or shells.

Why there is no repulsion between free electrons?

Free electrons most definitely repel each other.

Any attempt to create a buildup of electrons in a specific spot will eventually result in the repulsion amongst these electrons to overcome the attempt to collect them.

When you rub your skin against a wool rug on a dry day, you build up a surplus of free electrons on your skin. The repulsion between these free electrons cause this surplus to scatter to all parts of the skin, thus permitting a discharge of them to occur at any place in your skin.

What is the amu of a neutrino?

Three different types of neutrinos are recognized.

The latest work on the subject suggests that the combined mass

of one of each type adds up to less than one billionth of an AMU.

How many total electrons and valence electrons are found in an atom of Cl?

In an atom of Cl, there are 7 valence electrons. If you look at a Chemistry Reference table (2002 edition) pages 8 and 9, (visit the link below), you can see that underneath Cl there are the numbers 2-8-7. The last number is the number of valence electrons. This is found for any element on the Period table.

How Oxygen ionizes by losing electrons?

Oxygen can ionize by losing electrons to form a positively charged ion. This can occur when an oxygen atom gains enough energy to overcome the attraction of its electrons, causing one or more electrons to be ejected from the atom. The resulting oxygen ion will have a positive charge due to the loss of negatively charged electrons.

Are the electrons next to the proton nucleus?

The nucleus is one the order of one fermion in diameter.

The nearest electron orbital is on the order of more than a thousand fermions from the nucleus.

To me, that pretty far away.

What is the protons neutrons and electrons of fluorine?

Fluorine has 9 protons and 9 electrons. The number of neutrons can vary, as there are different isotopes of fluorine, but the most common isotope, fluorine-19, has 10 neutrons.

Does the positron has the same charge as an electron?

No, although their respective charges are exactly equal in size, they are opposite in sign.
