The word atom is derived from the Greek word atom which means indivisible. The Greeks concluded that matter could be broken down into particles too small to be seen. These particles were called atoms. Atoms are composed of three types of particles: protons, neutrons, and electron. Protons and neutrons are responsible for most of the atomic mass. Example; if a person weighed 150 lbs. approximately 149 lbs. and 15 ounces of that person would be comprised of protons and neutrons while only 1 ounce of their being would be made of electrons. Both the protons and neutrons reside within the nucleus. Protons have a positive charge, neutrons have no charge; they are neutral. Electrons reside in orbitals around the nucleus and have a negative charge.…
10. neutron – the most important of the subatomic particles because its capacity to pass through other atoms allowed for intense experimental bombardment of matter, leading to chain reactions of unbelievable force. (p. 927)…

In nuclear fission, atoms of uranium-235(any unstable nucleus with a sufficiently high number of nuclear mass) are bombarded with neutrons. Ordinarily neutrons move too quickly to split nuclei when they collide with them, but if neutrons are slowed down they can break apart nuclei. Each collision splits uranium atoms into smaller atoms and releases two or three neutrons, along with energy and radiation. Because the uranium nuclei is surrounded by innumerous number of other similar nuclei; the extra neutrons; besides the releasing of the energy of the previous nuclei that kept the repulsing protons together; begins to break them apart in the same manner leading to a series of chain reaction.…
Nucleus changes from higher energy state to a lower energy state through the emission of electromagnetic radiation.…
This is the culmination of the work of 5 eminent physicists, Dalton, Thomson, Rutherford, Bohr and Chadwick.Their work basically culminates in the ideas above and the important fact that an atom consists of:A nucleus containing protons and neutrons surrounded byElectrons in orbital around the nucleus.3. Atomic Number = Number of Protons4. Atomic Mass = Protons + Neutrons 5. Atomic Mass – Protons = Neutrons 6. Atomic Number – Atomic mass = Neutrons7.Protons = Electrons8. Valence electrons are electrons on outermost shell of an atom.5. Ionic bonds happen by transfer of electrons from one atom to another, usually between metals and nonmetalsHalite = NaCl Na…
The ADEA prohibits policy’s that will have a harmful effect on individuals 40 or over unless the employer can prove the policy is based on a reasonable factor other than age. On March 30, 2012, the EEOC published its final ruling on reasonable factor other than age which took effect on April 30th 2012. An example of an employment practice based on a reasonable factor other than age is a physical fitness test. Obviously this type of test would likely put older applicants at a disadvantage but if the employer could prove that it was a legitimate business purpose for the individual to pass such a test they would be allowed to do so without reprimand.…

In my personal opinion, I think the US had every right to drop the Atomic bomb on Japan and therefore force them to surrender.…
Throughout history, the Catholic Church of Europe has had its fair share of problems. One of them was the Great Schism. The Schism started in 1378 due to an argument within the church(Jordan 45) and it was resolved in 1417(Jordan 45). The Great Schism was a split between the Avignon popes and the Vatican popes, and this conflict led to questions in papal authority and hostilities between the two factions, one supporting the Avignon popes and one supporting the Vatican popes.…
Atoms contain large amounts of energy with the ability to be released in two ways. One of these ways is to join Nuclei together in a process called nuclear fusion and another way is to split atomic nuclei in a process called nuclear fission. Though there are many arguments in favour and against both, nuclear fission currently holds the upper hand as a nuclear fusion reactor is yet to be formed.…
Nuclear fission is the process in which large atoms such as Uranium or Plutonium are split apart when they are excessively exposed to…

We all know that energy on earth is running out, but what if we could use stars? Stars contain so much energy, if we could harvest it, we would never run out of energy. Energy from stars could be the energy source we are looking for. Energy is something we probably take for granted, we use so much of it everyday, and our current energy source, fossil fuels, releases gases into the environment, but with energy from stars, it could be a fresh start for our energy sources and our environment.…
