All nuclei are made up of two types of particles, namely: protons and neutrons. The only exception is the ordinary…
This property of atomic electrons was discovered through experimentation. The close observation of spectral lines revealed that each line was…
Bohr’s correspondence principle states that predictions of quantum theory must correspond to the predictions of classical physics in the region…
The magnetic quantum number for an electron classifies which orientation its subshell shape is pointed. The “lobes” for subshells point…
The exclusion principle states that no two electrons in an atom can have the same set of quantum numbers i.e.…
A shell is made up of subshells. Subshells are regions of space where electron “clouds” are allowed to exist, and…
Symbolized by the letter n, this number describes the shell that an electron resides in. An electron “shell” is a…
In 1935 Yukawa proposed in his paper that there exist a meson field, that is, a field that is different…
