If one could imagine the electron to cease orbiting then the hydrogen atom ceases to exist.

Lest he be misunderstood, he says that panpsychism does not for once question the real existence of such entities as atoms or electrons but merely insists that such individuals must «feel» and «will» He does not shrink from the view that electrons «enjoy» their existence and deliberately alter their orbits in order to obtain vivid contrasts and thus avoid being bored.30

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.

These rules predict, for example, how electrons orbit a nucleus in an atom, and how an atom can absorb photons, particles of light.

The idea that massive stars will have a considerable effect on their surroundings is not new: such stars are known to blast out vast quantities of powerful, ionising radiation — emission with enough energy to strip atoms of their orbiting electrons.

They shoot atoms, each with a widely orbiting electron, through a photon stream, and then measure how much the photons knock the electrons out of phase.

All light comes from the same physical process: An electron circling the nucleus of an atom in its customary orbit is energized — often by heat — and moves into a higher orbit.

But unlike household magnets, quantum mechanics dictates that two electrons circling a nucleus in the same orbit of an atom must be either completely aligned or completely misaligned; there is no in - between.

Ionizing radiation is a type of particle radiation in which an individual particle (for example, a photon, electron, or helium nucleus) carries enough energy to ionize an atom or molecule (that is, to completely remove an electron from its orbit).

The large orbit of the loosely bound outer electron of cesium atoms would repel the negative charge of the helium atom — overcoming the van der Waals forces that normally help spread superfluid helium over a surface.

The atom is a helium nucleus orbited by an electron and an antiproton rather than two electrons.

It's the result of a particular magnetic property of materials — the magnetic moment, a tiny magnetic field produced by electrons orbiting the nucleus of an atom.

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.

One of the most ubiquitous is the «octet rule,» which states that each atom in a molecule that is produced by a chemical reaction will have eight outer orbiting electrons.

Atoms can be thought of as miniature solar systems, with a nucleus at the centre and electrons orbiting at certain specific distances from it.

An electron orbits a hydrogen atom in about 150 attoseconds.

This turned them into Rydberg atoms, in which the electrons are in high - energy states and so orbit further away from the positively - charged nucleus.

Nineteen electrons orbit around the nucleus of a potassium atom.

All the elements in the periodic table consist of atoms with a nucleus of positively charged protons, orbited by the same number of negatively charged electrons.

«Ever since the beginning of quantum mechanics people have been looking for a configuration which could explain the stability of atoms and why orbiting electrons do not radiate,» Dr Miroshnichenko said.

Phosphorus - doped silicon is a promising medium for spintronics because each phosphorus atom «donates» an extra electron that orbits rather freely and hence is open to manipulation in the silicon crystal.

Caesium atoms contain electrons that orbit a nucleus, and it is possible for the direction of an electron's spin to become entangled with that of the nucleus's spin.

These temporary adhesive forces happen because electrons orbiting the nuclei of atoms are not evenly spaced, creating a slight electrical charge.

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.

Spin orbit coupling is a quantum mechanical phenomenon that results from the interaction between the electron's orbital motion in atoms and its spin orientation.

Most of the harmful radiations are «ionizing radiations» — they have sufficient energy to remove electrons from the orbits of surrounding atoms, causing them to become charged, or «ionized.»

Therefore the electron does not only orbit its own atomic nucleus, numerous other atoms lie inside its orbit too.

If the electron orbits the nucleus at a great distance, there is plenty of space in between for other atoms.

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.

Rydberg atoms are atoms, in which one single electron is lifted into a highly excited state and orbits the nucleus at a very large distance.

The levitation trick works because giant magnetic fields slightly distort the orbits of electrons in the frog's atoms.

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.

In Rydberg atoms, one or more electrons are excited with a precise amount of energy so that they orbit far from the atom's nucleus.

Prior attempts to measure the proton's g - factor were not precise as they were restricted to probing protons in atoms, where orbiting electrons disguise the proton's properties.

Some half truths here, an atom of elemental silver is completely transformed into a silver ion when it loses one orbital electron, leaving 46 electrons in orbit instead of the 47 electrons found in an atom of silver.

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.

But on a small scale, such as inside an atom, the space is so small that there is no main path, no «orbit»; there are all sorts of ways the electron could go, each with an amplitude.

The Bohr model of the hydrogen atom: a dense nucleus containing the hydrogen atom's single proton (and possibly one or more neutrons), surrounded by an electron that can be on one of several different orbits.

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.
