Atoms are the fundamental components of matter, made up of three subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons. The structure of atoms determines the properties and behavior of different ...

Explore the fascinating world of atoms in this video, which delves into their fundamental components: protons, neutrons, and ...

Individual protons and neutrons in atomic nuclei turn out not to behave according to the predictions made by existing theoretical models. This surprising conclusion, reached by an international ...

Atomic number and mass number Oxygen and carbon are both elements. Both are made up of atoms which in turn are made up of protons, neutrons and electrons. But what makes oxygen different from carbon?

Researchers have visualized for the first time the direct effect of the Pauli exclusion principle, a fundamental feature of ...

New research has found that protons are about 20 times more likely to pair up with neutrons than with other protons in the nucleus. The result, based on the first-ever simultaneous measurement of ...

On this view, the nucleus is formed of n neutrons and p protons, and p is also the number of planetary electrons required to form an electrically neutral atom.

The nucleus has a structure remarkably similar to the electrons orbiting the nucleus. Like electrons, the protons and neutrons stack in order of energy to fill shells.
