the energy that is found in the nucleus of an atom. Atoms are smaller particles, which can be divided into a material. In the nucleus of each atom there are two types of particles (neutrons and protons) which are always united. Nuclear energy is the energy that allows the permanent union of neutrons and protons. In this section, we discuss the pros and cons of nuclear energy. Although most organizations related to nuclear energy has already an opinion for or against the use of nuclear energy, on this
NUCLEAR ENERGY Nuclear energy is the energy in the nucleus of an atom. Atoms are the smallest particles that can break a material. Nuclear energy can be used to produce electricity. This energy can be obtained in two ways: nuclear fusion and nuclear fission. In nuclear fusion, energy is released when atoms are combined or fused together to form a larger atom. In nuclear fission, atoms are split into smaller atoms, releasing energy. Actually, nuclear power plants can only use nuclear fission to produce
the periodic table lithium’s atomic number is 3. The atomic number describes the number of protons in the nucleus and the number of electrons in the atom when it is not ionized. (An ion is an atom where the amount of protons and electrons is not equal.) Lithium has 3 protons; therefore it must have 3 electrons when it is not ionized. The protons and neutrons together form the nucleus. Lithium has 3 protons and usually 4 neutrons since its atomic weight is 6.9 according to the periodic table. The
similar as the proton number which is located in the nucleus and converts the nucleus in to a positive charge as neutron is a neutral charge (+-) so positive (+) plus neutral (+-) equals a positive charge. The atomic mass for sulphur is 32 amu or (Atomic Mass Unit is the international system of units). The melting point of sulphur is 112.8 °C and the boiling point of Sulphur is 444.6 °C. Sulphur has an equal number of proton and neutron due to its atomic mass subtracted by the proton/atomic number
The Modern Development of Atomic Theory According to Democritus, “Nothing exists except atoms and empty space; everything else is opinion.” This conveys the controversy in scientific investigations made in defining a singular molecule. Since 460 BC, atomism has been an alternating concept of chemistry. Several significant scientists have contributed to this field profoundly. The modern development of the atomic theory is based on researches and discoveries of Democritus, John Dalton, J.J. Thomson
on non-renewable fuels were self-destructive. Soddy was and still is a successful scientist of the atomic model and theory thanks to his findings of isotopes. The same elements exist in different forms, with nuclei having the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. This changed the theory of the atomic model. Soddy used the rather basic tools and used the ones available to him. This includes hand blown glass bulbs, carefully made and then evacuated to create what is commonly
Look around, animals, tables, pens, all have one thing in common. They each are made of matter and matter is made of atoms (OI). The atom is the basic building block of all matter. It is the smallest unit of all matter. Every solid, liquid, gas, and plasma is composed of atoms. Scientific ideas about its structure have changed over time. Over time different scientist, chemists, philosophers and physicists have changed the structure of the atom over time. Atoms were first proposed in 450 BCE by
Atomic theory is the underlying model of this lab investigation. There are five important principles of this model; one all matter is composed of submicroscopic particles called atoms. Two all atoms of given element are identical. Three all atoms of one element have the same mass, and atoms from different elements have different masses. Four atoms can be combined with other atoms to form molecules, and molecules can be split apart into individual atoms. Five atoms are not created or destroyed during
of everyday human life. Atoms are the basic units of matter and the defining structure of elements. Due to information found by previous scientists we now know that atoms are made up of three parts known as particles. These particles are knowns as protons, electrons, and neutrons. These are also made up of even smaller particles known as quarks. Throughout the years there were multiple scientist who developed theories about the atomic timeline and the structure of an atom. Starting with Democritus
Persuasive Essay The heart is the central or innermost part of an human. Enough said, hands down, most important. The heart is the nucleus of the human, similar to the protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. No other living organism can feel the feelings we have with the heart. Each human loves a particular hobby even if it is sleep, love of the Earth, and most humans love a particular someone. Whether a spouse, friend, or family member everyone has strong feelings for someone. For example

Optical Lenses by Amy Hogan The earliest known optical lenses date back to 750 BC in the assyrian empire. The first lense was know as the layard lense and was most likely used as a magnifying glass or to start fires. Many similar lenses have been found from ancient egypt, babylon, and greece. Ancient egypt and greece would fill glass spheres with water to achieve the same affect of lenses. Coincidentally lenses wasn't thought of until the middle ages. The earliest lenses were made from polished

Section 1: Introduction and Guiding Question Atoms are tiny particles that compose to make up matter. The atoms combine to create bonds. The bonds are substances that can go through physical and chemical changes. Chemical reactions can happen when two substances combine. Different mixtures of substances create different types of reactions. When reactions happen, the atoms rearrange and break apart. The atoms never get misplaced or taken away, due to the law of conservation of mass. The law of conservation
such as protons, neutrons, and electrons, were thought to be the smallest particles there were. However, it was discovered that there could be something even smaller. Atoms are made up of two major sections, the nucleus and the electron cloud. Electrons are found in the electron cloud, and the nucleus is made up of protons and neutrons. Protons are positively charged, while neutrons have no charge, and are slightly more massive than the protons. It used to be thought that protons and neutrons
4. Basic operation of the Helium-Neon Laser. 4.1. How to Make Helium-Neon Laser. The goal of this experiment is to know how to make a simple Helium & Neon LASER So we will need to three principal elements to make a laser :- (1) Energy pump. (2) Optical gain medium. (3) Optical resonator. Now we must know the role of every element in this experiment Energy pump: A 1400-V DC power supply maintains a glow discharge or plasma in a glass tube containing an optimal mixture (typically 5:1 to 7:1)
Chemistry is the branch of science that deals with the composition, structure and changes in matter. You are a product of chemistry, apparently, everything is! From the tiniest grain of sand to the heavenly bodies in the universe, the stars, the planets, they are products of chemistry, can you even envision a world without chemistry? Of course, you can’t, your mind is a product of chemistry too! It is also used in daily human activities, such as cooking. But even though I have stated some its uses
ADI Lab Investigation - Law of Conservation of Mass The Law of Conservation of Mass states that mass is neither created nor destroyed. The law also states, that the mass of the reactants are equal to the mass of the products in a chemical reaction. Matter is composed of atoms, and atoms can be bonded to form different types of molecules. In a chemical reaction, no new atoms are created, and no atoms are destroyed. Also, in a chemical reaction, bonds between atoms in the reactants are broken, and
as bullets, Rutherford knocked hydrogen nuclei out of atoms of six elements: boron (B), fluorine (F), sodium (Na), aluminum (Al), phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N). He named them protons, from the Greek for 'first', for they consisted of the first identified building blocks of the nuclei of all elements. He found the protons mass at 1,836 times as great as the mass of the electron. But there appeared something terribly wrong with Rutherford's model of the atom. The theory of electricity and magnetism
universe. They are made up of 3 subatomic particles called protons, neutrons and electrons. Protons have a positive charge, neutrons have no charge and electrons have a negative charge. Neutrons and protons are approximately similar in size as they both have an atomic mass of 1. His mass is relative to an element on the period table called carbon, which consists of an atom with 12 protons. Electrons however, are much lighter than protons and neutrons. In fact, they are 1837 times lighter Recently
