The total number of particles in the nucleus, (i.e. the sum of all the protons and neutrons), is called the mass number A. A is the mass number (the sum of the protons and neutrons) Z is the ...

For the first time, a research team has successfully produced one of the most neutron-rich isotopes, hydrogen-6, in an ...

Since the nucleus only contains protons and neutrons, most of the mass ... of sodium can also be shown in a diagram. Each dot represents an electron. Since the atomic number of oxygen is 8 ...

The picture shows a close-up of one carbon atom. A hydrogen atom has one proton as the nucleus and one electron in the region outside the nucleus. The electron and proton are attracted to each other.

In the world of nuclear physics, protons ... the neutron has stepped into it. A recent experiment using the U.S. Department of Energy’s Jefferson Lab has revealed the inner structure of the ...

Scientists have produced one of the most neutron-rich isotopes, hydrogen-6, in an electron scattering experiment. The experiment presents a new method for investigating light, neutron-rich nuclei and ...
