The element hydrogen has three isotopes: hydrogen, deuterium, and tritium. Each one of these have one single proton, but they have different number of neutrons. For Hydrogen, there are no...Read More
Atomic nuclei that is composed of protons have been viewed with the help of an electron microscope. Electrons are so much smaller than most of the atomic nuclei, thus we are capable of using them...Read More
The free neutrons and their state of decaying is feasible because the mass of neutrons is larger than the sum of the masses of both the proton and the electron it decays into. But when a neutron...Read More
A thermal neutron is a neutron with a thermal equilibrium with the medium that surrounds it. This happens primarily with those produced by fission in a nuclear reactor and thereafter slowed by a...Read More
