  2. Atom - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atom

    Dalton concluded that in the grey oxide there is one atom of oxygen for every atom of tin, and in the white oxide there are two atoms of oxygen for every atom of tin (SnO and SnO 2). [6] [7] Dalton also analyzed iron oxides. There is one type of iron oxide that is a black powder which is 78.1% iron and 21.9% oxygen; and there is another iron ...

  3. Brownian motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brownian_motion

    In 1906 Smoluchowski published a one-dimensional model to describe a particle undergoing Brownian motion. [24] The model assumes collisions with M ≫ m where M is the test particle's mass and m the mass of one of the individual particles composing the fluid. It is assumed that the particle collisions are confined to one dimension and that it ...

  4. Proton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton

    Protium, the most common isotope of hydrogen, consists of one proton and one electron (it has no neutrons). The term hydrogen ion (H +) implies that that H-atom has lost its one electron, causing only a proton to remain. Thus, in chemistry, the terms proton and hydrogen ion (for the protium isotope) are used synonymously.

  5. Higgs boson - Wikipedia

    For example, approximately 99% of the mass of baryons (composite particles such as the proton and neutron), is due instead to quantum chromodynamic binding energy, which is the sum of the kinetic energies of quarks and the energies of the massless gluons mediating the strong interaction inside the baryons. [40]

  6. State of matter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_of_matter

    Simple illustration of particles in the solid state – they are closely packed to each other. In a solid, constituent particles (ions, atoms, or molecules) are closely packed together. The forces between particles are so strong that the particles cannot move freely but can only vibrate. As a result, a solid has a stable, definite shape, and a ...

  7. Neutrino - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutrino

    The core collapse phase of a supernova is an extremely dense and energetic event. It is so dense that no known particles are able to escape the advancing core front except for neutrinos. Consequently, supernovae are known to release approximately 99% of their radiant energy in a short (10-second) burst of neutrinos. [109]

  8. Degrees of freedom (physics and chemistry) - Wikipedia

    By the equipartition theorem, internal energy per mole of gas equals c v T, where T is absolute temperature and the specific heat at constant volume is c v = (f)(R/2). R = 8.314 J/(K mol) is the universal gas constant, and "f" is the number of thermodynamic (quadratic) degrees of freedom, counting the number of ways in which energy can occur.

  9. Atomism - Wikipedia

    Furthermore, he concluded that there was a unique atom for each element, using Lavoisier's definition of an element as a substance that could not be analyzed into something simpler. Thus, Dalton concluded the following. Chemical analysis and synthesis go no farther than to the separation of particles one from another, and to their reunion. No ...
