Karla Alvarez Chemistry Period One Subatomic Particle The electron is extremely small compared to all the other parts of the atom. It is negatively charged. The negative charge balances out the positive charge of the protons in the atom. Electrons are found in the electron cloud that surrounds the nucleus of an atom. The clouds are generally organized into shells. Electrons move at a quick pace‚ so you never really know where they are specifically. But after years of doing experiments‚ scientists

God Particle Aparajita Srivastava The "God particle" is the nickname of a subatomic particle called the Higgs boson. In layman’s terms‚ different subatomic particles are responsible for giving matter different properties. One of the most mysterious and important properties is mass. Some particles‚ like protons and neutrons‚ have mass. Others‚ like photons‚ do not. The Higgs boson‚ or “God particle‚” is believed to be the particle

Magnetic particle inspection (MPI) - Is a non-destructive testing (NDT) process for detecting surface and slightly subsurface discontinuities in ferroelectric materials such as iron‚ nickel‚ cobalt‚ and some of their alloys. The process puts a magnetic field into the part. The piece can be magnetized by direct or indirect magnetization. Direct magnetization occurs when the electric current is passed through the test object and a magnetic field is formed in the material. Indirect magnetization occurs

Smog‚ trash‚ and pollution are everywhere. Yet no action is taken to stop its growth Our world is home to billions of people and for millions of years life has existed and died. Those dead organisms get buried in the ground for hundreds of millions of years and turn into oil and coal that today we as humans use to power our homes and cars. However fossil fuels are very unclean and they cause huge catastrophes in our environment like global warming. A recent study by Cornell University found that

Los Angeles resident. A city dominated by warm climate‚ show business‚ and extravagant lifestyles has been negatively impacted by the ever-present problem of smog. Noted as a problem for over 100 years in the city‚ the only advances in the “Smog War” ("The southland ’s war‚" 1997) have been made in the last 60 years or so‚ leaving a certain level of pollution that likely will never be solved. Since 1947 Los Angeles has dedicated itself to improving the air quality in the city by founding government
