Not exact matches

If humans were not designed by a higher authority, how can each individual's DNA be uniquely different among the human species, especially different than the other animals; how can the life sustaining elements be constantly available and exist in exact formulations: O, H, C etc. water is always 2 atoms of Hydrogen and one atom of Oxygen; sugar, fats, grains, and any bio-chemical products can be broken down to their simplest forms of elements, but can be re-constructed with specific (not by chance) formula.

if you want hydrogen 1 proton, 1 neutron, 1 electron and you have 1 atom of hydrogen; the hard part is it would cost us more energy than we can afford at this point in our technological stage to accomplish such a feat.

Pagels (1984) points out that if the relative masses of protons and neutrons were different by a small fraction of 1 per cent, making the proton heavier than the neutron, hydrogen atoms would be unstable since the protons that constitute their nuclei would spontaneously decay into neutrons.

Disks cool down more efficiently if their gas includes some molecular hydrogen — two hydrogen atoms bonded together — rather than atomic hydrogen, which consists of only one atom.

Krissansen - Totton explains in more detail: «Having methane and carbon dioxide together is unusual, because carbon dioxide is carbon's most oxidized state, and methane (composed of a carbon atom linked to four hydrogen atoms rather than any oxygen at all) is its least,» he says.

It's heavier than normal because each of the two hydrogen atoms in heavy H2O weighs two rather than one amu.

After all, particle accelerator searches over the last two decades had narrowed the range of possible masses for the Higgs; if it existed at all, it had to weigh in at between 114 billion and 143 billion electron volts or GeV (1 GeV is slightly more than the mass of a hydrogen atom).

This is more than theory: In the late 1940s, physicist Willis Lamb detected the effect of virtual particles on hydrogen atoms in his Columbia University laboratory.

The scientists prepared the molecules so that the temperature — judged by the probability of an atom's nucleus being found in a higher energy state — was greater for the hydrogen nucleus than for the carbon.

There are two types of unsaturated fats: monounsaturated fats such as olive oil, which are missing one pair of hydrogen atoms, and polyunsaturated fats such as soy, corn, and canola oils, which lack more than one pair.

But the small telescope may be better at looking even farther into the past than the larger arrays, allowing it to look at hydrogen atoms heated by the very first stars, Bowman says.

Scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed a new device that measures the motion of super-tiny particles traversing distances almost unimaginably small — shorter than the diameter of a hydrogen atom, or less than one - millionth the width of a human hair.

Similarly, other physicists showed in 1997 that if the Higgs boson were five times heavier than it is, this would suppress the formation of atoms other than hydrogen, resulting, by yet another means, in a lifeless universe.

In fact, the emergence of the formula may have more to do with the properties of gamma functions than the physics of the hydrogen atom, Nachtergaele says.

An eight - hour experiment using the ALPHA trap at CERN confirmed with 20 times greater precision than before that the charge of the antihydrogen atom — the antimatter counterpart of the hydrogen atom — is zero.

The number of potential cell types from that collection of genes is vast, some 10 6000s greater than the number of hydrogen atoms in the Universe.

When the scientists tracked the pattern of emissions of a particular hydrogen molecule consisting of three hydrogen atoms (rather than the usual two), they expected to see a uniform planet - wide infrared glow.

One of the legs, however, is longer than the others and contains a chain of three carbon atoms, each with at least one protruding hydrogen.

Neutrons are more sensitive to light atoms like hydrogen and carbon than x-rays.

While elements like oxygen, silicon, magnesium, and iron are much heavier atoms than hydrogen or helium, they are just not abundant enough to make a significant contribution on their own.

Fatty acids can be put into three categories based on the molecular length of carbon atoms connected to hydrogen atoms: short - chain that have less than 6 carbon atoms, medium - chain that have between 6 - 12 carbon atoms and long - chain that have between 13 - 21 carbon atoms.

If more than two hydrogen atoms are missing it's called a polyunsaturated fat.

For starters, this is what a googol looks like: 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000,000,000,000 10 followed by a hundred zeros is certainly a big number - so big that some estimate that a googol is greater than the number of hydrogen atoms in the observable universe.

Heavy water: Water containing a significantly greater proportion of heavy hydrogen (deuterium) atoms to ordinary hydrogen atoms than is found in ordinary (light) water.

As with petroleum, some energy is required to separate the molecule into separate atoms, but the energy is more than returned when the carbon and hydrogen burn to form carbon dioxide and water vapor respectively.
