Karla Alvarez Chemistry Period One Subatomic Particle The electron is extremely small compared to all the other parts of the atom. It is negatively charged. The negative charge balances out the positive charge of the protons in the atom. Electrons are found in the electron cloud that surrounds the nucleus of an atom. The clouds are generally organized into shells. Electrons move at a quick pace‚ so you never really know where they are specifically. But after years of doing experiments‚ scientists

What are particle accelerators used for? A particle accelerator is a device that uses electric fields to propel electrically charged particles in a vacuum‚ which approach the speed of light‚ towards each other and collide. The result hopefully being that the kinetic energy in the particles and other energy converted into subatomic particles or various types of nuclear radiation. There is more than one type of particle accelerator; they come in two basic types: • Linear • Circular Linear

"What is the God particle?" Answer: The "God particle" is the nickname of a subatomic particle called the Higgs boson. In layman’s terms‚ different subatomic particles are responsible for giving matter different properties. One of the most mysterious and important properties is mass. Some particles‚ like protons and neutrons‚ have mass. Others‚ like photons‚ do not. The Higgs boson‚ or “God particle‚” is believed to be the particle which gives mass to matter. The “God particle” nickname grew out

Neutron Stars are born from the deaths of stars. When a star dies‚ if it is not massive enough to become a black hole‚ it becomes a neutron star. A neutron star has a mass between one to 3 suns compressed into the size of central park. A sugar cube sized slice of a neutron star will weigh around 10 billion tons(around the mass of Mt. Everest). The reason it can do this is because hydrogen atoms(the simplest and lightest material) are around 99.9999999999996% empty space. The atoms in this star

In living systems‚ electrons play a crucial role in the transfer of energy through processes such as cellular respiration and photosynthesis. During these metabolic pathways‚ electrons are transferred between molecules in redox reactions‚ where one molecule loses electrons (oxidation) and another gains electrons (reduction). This transfer of electrons is essential for the generation of ATP‚ the cell’s primary energy currency. One specific example of the importance of electrons in energy transfer

The Discovery Of The Electron The electron was discovered in 1895 by J.J. Thomson in the form of cathode rays‚ and was the first elementary particle to be identified. The electron is the lightest known particle which possesses an electric charge. Its rest mass is Me <approximately equal> 9.1 x 10 -28 g‚ about 1/1836 of the mass of the proton or neutron. The charge of the electron is -e = -4.8 x 10^-10 esu <elec trostatic unit). The sign of the electron’s charge is negative by convention‚ and
