The electron configuration of Neptunium can be found by following the Aufbau principle, Pauli exclusion principle, and Hund's rule. Neptunium (Np) has 93 electrons, with a configuration of [Rn] 5f^4 6d^1 7s^2.

Valence electrons are the most important in bonding as they are involved in interactions between atoms to form chemical bonds. These are the outer shell electrons of an atom that determine its reactivity and ability to combine with other atoms.

An atom is made of a core + electrons .The core is made of positive charges held together by neutral charges. The electrons, negative charges, orbit round it.


If there is 5 positive charges in the core, 5 electrons would orbit around it. Otherwise it's not called an atom anymore, but a ion.

Werner Karl Heisenberg was a renowned German physicist and philosopher. In 1925 he discovered a way to formulate quantum mechanics with matrices. As a result of his discovery, Heisenberg was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1932.

The number of electrons in a neutral atom of any element is the same as the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom. The number of protons in an element is the same as the atomic number for that element. In the case of Gold (Au) the atomic number is 79.

As the name suggests, neutron stars are actually composed of neutrons. When there is a sufficiently strong gravitational field, atoms (or superheated plasma consisting of fragments of atoms) collapse, and the electrons and the protons combine to form neutrons. Only neutrons are left.

An electron is an elementary particle, and is one of the family of particles called leptons. The leptons are a family of the group called the fermions.

The electron configuration for Neon is 1s2 2s2 2p6. This means that Neon has 10 electrons, with 2 in the 1s orbital, 2 in the 2s orbital, and 6 in the 2p orbital.

Electrons found in the outermost energy level of an atom are called valence electrons. These electrons are involved in forming chemical bonds with other atoms, which determines the atom's reactivity and behavior in chemical reactions. The number of valence electrons an atom has contributes to its position in the periodic table and helps predict its chemical properties.

A neutron is composed of quarks. It has one "up" quark and two "down" quarks in it. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article, and drawings and more information can be gathered there. Why not surf on over?

Out of carbon (C), potassium (K), chlorine (Cl), and iron (Fe), carbon has the smallest electron affinity. Carbon tends to resist gaining an extra electron due to its stable electron configuration in its outer shell.

For high energy neutrino beams the requirements of large solid angle acceptance and wide bandpass can be achieved with a focusing channel composed of quadrupole cells where each cell is sequentially scaled in aperture, length and field gradient. A formalism for the design of these quadrupole focused neutrino beams with wide bandpass has been developed. The theory will be presented and the results of calculations will be given for some quadrupole focused neutrino beams. Compared to more exotic focusing techniques quadrupoles offer inherent reliability and easy maintenance. The system, which can be used in either long or short spill operation, can also be used as the front end of a muon beam for a facility that would be shared between neutrino and muon experiments. The quadrupole focusing channel does not, however, distinguish between parent particle charge and, therefore, cannot produce a pure neutrino or antineutrino beam.

Protons and neutrons can be found in the centre of the atom in the nucleus. Electrons orbit round the nucleus in shells/orbits and are extremely small compared to the rest of the atom. Protons have a positive +1 charge and neutrons have no charge and are neutral. Electrons have a negative -1 charge. Protons and neutrons give the atom its mass. Each shell has a maximum number of electrons it can take. In the first shell it is 2. In all other shells (up to calcium) the maximum number is 8. An atom can gain or lose electrons, becoming what is known as an ion. An ion is nothing more than an electrically charged atom. Adding or removing electrons from an atom does not change which element it is, just its charge. The number of electrons equals the number of protons. The number of protons is the roton/atomic number. The number of neutrons can be found by subtracting the atomic mass from the atomic number (as the atomic mass it both the protons and neutrons combined.)

Metals with two electrons in the outer energy level are typically found in Group 2 of the periodic table, known as the alkaline earth metals. Examples include beryllium and magnesium. These metals tend to form 2+ cations by losing their outer electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.

there are 6 protons in carbon trust me I'm doing some Homework on it...

Hydrogen's atomic number is 1. Thus it has 1 proton per atom. To be electrically neutral, it also must have 1 electron. Since hydrogen has no neutrons, those are the only two subatomic particles it possesses.

These particles are called electrons - symbol e-, electric charge -1,

mass 9.10938291(40)×10−31 kg.

Based on the atomic number of lithium there are three protons in a lithium atom.

Nucleus of an atom has a strong hold on electrons because of the attractive force between the positively charged nucleus and negatively charged electrons. This attraction keeps the electrons in orbit around the nucleus, forming the structure of the atom.

Electrons leave the conduction band when they are excited to higher energy states and move to another band or level. This can happen when electrons gain energy from an external source, such as photon absorption or electrical stimulation. Once in a higher energy state, electrons can move freely within the material, contributing to its conductivity.

The outermost electrons of an atom, also known as valence electrons, have higher energy levels compared to the inner electrons. Valence electrons are involved in chemical bonding and interactions with other atoms, while inner electrons are more tightly bound to the nucleus and have lower energy levels.

Positron annihilation spectroscopy is a research tool that is being investigated because it may provide a way to look at defects in a solid matrix.

A positron source is set up to direct positrons at a material under investigation. Because of the way positrons behave while slowing down (they usually don't just combine with the first electron they encounter), they tend to find their way into defects in the material structure of the solid into which they have been directed. When the positron does finally hook up with an electron and the annihilation event occurs, the energy and directivity of the gamma rays produced can be used to learn something about the structure of the atomic matrix in which the event occurred.
