Sentences with phrase «electrons orbit around»

Nineteen electrons orbit around the nucleus of a potassium atom.

The atom had a nucleus with electrons orbiting around it.

Now scientists at MIT and Cambridge University have identified an unexpected shared pattern in the collective movement of bacteria and electrons: As billions of bacteria stream through a microfluidic lattice, they synchronize and swim in patterns similar to those of electrons orbiting around atomic nuclei in a magnetic material.

We are no electrons orbiting around a nucleus, why do we need to resonate to a higher frequency orbit for certain «chemical reactions» to happen?

Not exact matches

The orbit of an electron around a nucleus conceived as a route of occasions would not significantly differ from that orbit conceived as the route of the continuous motion of the electron.2 Hence, Whitehead gave up his work on reformulating the equations of relativity theory, as well as any quest for ways in which his initial work would yield some confirmably different prediction from those of the equations of orthodox relativity theory.

The history of science provides many examples of this combination of analogy and innovation in the creation of models which were useful in generating theories.4 The «Bohr model» of the atom, in which «planetary» electrons revolve in orbits around a central nucleus, resembles the solar system in certain of its dynamical properties; but the key assumption of quantum jumps between orbits had no classical parallel at all.

For those who enjoy chemistry: Free radicals are an unpaired electron in orbit around the nucleus of an atom.

These protons yank negatively charged electrons from their orbits around atoms within molecules.

Here's the cool part: As far as the electrons are concerned, this environment is almost the same as the one they experience while bound in an orbit around an atomic nucleus.

Electrons occupy different orbits around their atom and, by analogy, spin like Earth.

Each molecule consists of atoms and each atom has an atomic nucleus and, orbiting around the nucleus we have electrons.

An electron that orbits in the shell is a helical string of Higgs Particles that is continuously extruding around a closed circle of R's in the shell.

The pulse also knocked the electron into a highly elliptical path around the nucleus, rather like a comet that orbits the Sun but spends most of its time far outside the Solar System.

Sometimes a muon replaces an electron and orbits around a proton.

Lead scientist Professor Tim Gershon, from The University of Warwick's Department of Physics, explains: «Gravity describes the universe on a large scale from galaxies to Newton's falling apple, whilst the electromagnetic interaction is responsible for binding molecules together and also for holding electrons in orbit around an atom's nucleus.

The perplexing thing about this atom: the radius of the orbit, on which the electron moves around the nucleus, is much larger than the typical distance between two atoms in the condensate.

On each orbit around Mars, MAVEN dips into the ionosphere — the layer of ions and electrons extending from about 75 to 300 miles above the surface.

The team used a novel technique that involves replacing the electrons in hydrogen atoms with negatively charged particles called muons, and then measuring subtle shifts in the energy that is required to bump a muon into a higher - energy orbit around the single - proton nucleus.

With his daydreaming and his dyslexia, he has never been a good student, and the purpose of the electron shell — the orbit of electrons around an atom's nucleus — escapes him.

The models can be viewed in either the traditional Bohr model, which shows an atom with a central nucleus with electrons in orbit around it, or with the quantum mechanical model, which shows off the atom as an electron cloud.
