  2. List of chemical elements - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_chemical_elements

    A chemical element, often simply called an element, is a type of atom which has a specific number of protons in its atomic nucleus (i.e., a specific atomic number, or Z). [ 1 ] The definitive visualisation of all 118 elements is the periodic table of the elements , whose history along the principles of the periodic law was one of the founding ...

  3. Atomic number - Wikipedia

    The Rutherford–Bohr model of the hydrogen atom (Z = 1) or a hydrogen-like ion (Z > 1). In this model, it is an essential feature that the photon energy (or frequency) of the electromagnetic radiation emitted (shown) when an electron jumps from one orbital to another be proportional to the mathematical square of atomic charge (Z 2).

    means that "x is an element of A". [1] Equivalent expressions are "x is a member of A", "x belongs to A", "x is in A" and "x lies in A". The expressions "A includes x" and "A contains x" are also used to mean set membership, although some authors use them to mean instead "x is a subset of A". [2]

  5. Axiom of power set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axiom_of_power_set

    where y is the power set of x, z is any element of y, w is any member of z. In English, this says: Given any set x, there is a set y such that, given any set z, this set z is a member of y if and only if every element of z is also an element of x.

  6. Center (group theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_(group_theory)

    If x is in Z(G), then so is x −1 as, for all g in G, x −1 commutes with g: (gx = xg) ⇒ (x −1 gxx −1 = x −1 xgx −1) ⇒ (x −1 g = gx −1). Furthermore, the center of G is always an abelian and normal subgroup of G. Since all elements of Z(G) commute, it is closed under conjugation. A group homomorphism f : G → H might not ...

  7. Charge number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge_number

    This is a property of specific subatomic atoms. These elements define the electromagnetic contact between the two elements. A chemical charge can be found by using the periodic table. An element's placement on the periodic table indicates whether its chemical charge is negative or positive. Looking at the table, one can see that the positive ...

  8. Integer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer

    The set of all integers is often denoted by the boldface Z or blackboard bold. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] The set of natural numbers N {\displaystyle \mathbb {N} } is a subset of Z {\displaystyle \mathbb {Z} } , which in turn is a subset of the set of all rational numbers Q {\displaystyle \mathbb {Q} } , itself a subset of the real numbers R {\displaystyle ...

  9. Axiom of infinity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axiom_of_infinity

    This says that x is non-empty and for every element y of x there is another element z of x such that y is a subset of z and y is not equal to z. This implies that x is an infinite set without saying much about its structure. However, with the help of the other axioms of ZF, we can show that this implies the existence of ω. First, if we take ...
