Norman Campbell discusses the problem of the possible consistency of the assumptions about the motion and arrangement of electrons in the atom underlying ... theory of atomic structure, and ...

1 The electronic structure of sodium can also be shown in a diagram. Each dot represents an electron. Since the atomic number of oxygen is 8, it will have 8 protons in the nucleus. An atom of ...

Photo: Niels Bohr's research notes for his new atomic theory Rutherford's find came from a very strange experience. Everyone at that time imagined the atom as a "plum pudding." That is ...

The chemical environment of specific surface and bulk sites in catalyst particles can now be explored one atom column at ... The electronic structure at the atomic scale of ultrathin gate oxides.

Cadmium-based nanostructures are opening new possibilities in near-infrared (NIR) technology, from medical imaging to fiber ...

They have demonstrated that nuclear polarisation does not impede the study of muonic atoms. It clears a major obstacle that ...

University of Queensland scientists have cracked a long-standing puzzle in nuclear physics, showing that nuclear polarization ...

Notably, the team introduced an innovative approach that integrates synchrotron resonant soft X-ray diffraction—a powerful tool for studying atomic structure—with probe-assisted solid-state ...

The electronic configuration of the silicon atom is: (Ne)(3s) 2 (3p) 2, and the atomic radius is 0.132 nm. Silicon has the diamond cubic crystal structure with a lattice parameter of 0.543 nm. The ...

The two collaborations combined their complementary data on the proton's inner structure to improve calculations of a phenomenon in atomic physics: the hyperfine splitting of hydrogen. An atom of ...
