Atom

An atom (Greek άτομον from ά: non and τομον: divisible) is a submicroscopic structure found in all ordinary matter. It is the smallest unit of an element to retain all the chemical properties of that element. The word atom originally meant a smallest possible particle of matter, not further divisible. Later, the objects that had been called atoms were found to be further divisible into smaller subatomic particles, but the word a ...

Atom: Encyclopedia - Atomism Atomism is the theory that all the objects in the universe are composed of very small, indestructible elements. Or, stated in other words, all of reality is made of indivisible basic building blocks. The word atomism derives from the ancient Greek word atomos which means that which cannot be cut into smaller pieces. There are two ways in which the word "atom" is used: to describe the atoms that scientists discuss, and those that philosophers discuss. Atomism is traditionally associated with the latter, where philosophers have argued t ...

Atom: Encyclopedia II - Atom - Study of atoms

Because of their ubiquitous nature, atoms have been an important field of study for many centuries. Current specific research areas include: the physics of ultra-cold atoms and molecules, including Bose-Einstein condensation, creation of more accurate and precise atomic clocks, collisions involving highly excited states of atoms and molecules including Rydberg states, low-energy elastic and threshold inelastic scattering of charged particles, the search for dark matter, the search for a grand unified quantum theory of gravity, and the study of atoms ...

Al Pratt and Ray Palmer The Atom is a fictional super-hero who debuted in publisher All-American Comics' same-name series All-American Comics in 1940, and was reimagined on several occasions by DC Comics, the first and most commercially successful to date seeing print initially in 1961. Atom comics - Golden Age Atom. The original Atom, Al Pratt, was introduced in All-American Comics #19 (October 1940). He initially had no superpowers; instead, he was a diminutive college s ...

Atom: Encyclopedia - Atomic radius

The atomic radius is the distance from the atomic nucleus to the outmost stable electron orbital in an atom that is at equilibrium. It is measured in picometers or angstroms. Atomic radii are called covalent radii (a reference to the types of covalent bonds formed) when referring to non-metallic elements and metallic radii when referring to metals. Technically, the atomic radius is one half of the equilibrium internuclear distance between two adjacent atoms (which may either bonded covalently or present in a close ...

Atom: Encyclopedia - Atomic spectroscopy

Atomic spectroscopy is the determination of elemental composition by its electromagnetic or mass spectrum. Atomic spectroscopy is closely related to other forms of spectroscopy. It can be divided by atomization source or by the type of spectroscopy used. In the latter case, the main division is between optical and mass spectrometry. Mass spectrometry generally gives significantly better analytical performance, but is also significantly more complex. This complexity translates into higher purchase costs, higher operational costs, more ...

Atom: Encyclopedia - Buddhist atomism

Buddhist atoms in the tradition of Buddhist atomism underwent a very rich period during the time of Dharmakirti. In discussing Buddhist atomism, Stcherbatsky writes: ...[T]he Buddhists denied the existence of substantial matter altogether. Movement consists for them of moments, it is a staccato movement, momentary flashes of a stream of energy... "Everything is evanescent“,... says the Buddhist, because there is no stuff... Both systems [Sānkhya, and later Indian Buddhism] share in common a tendency to push the ...

Atom: Encyclopedia - Atomic clock

An atomic clock is a type of clock that uses an atomic resonance frequency standard as its counter. Early atomic clocks were masers with attached equipment. Today's best atomic frequency standards (or clocks) are based on more advanced physics involving cold atoms and atomic fountains. National standards agencies maintain an accuracy of 10-9 seconds per day, and a precision equal to the frequency of the radio transmitter pumping the maser. The clocks maintain a continuous and stable time scale, International Atomic Time (TA ...

Atom: Encyclopedia - Atomic orbital

A less formal description of the electrons in atoms can be found at Electron configuration. In quantum mechanics, the state of an atom, i.e. the eigenstates of the atomic Hamiltonian, are expanded (see configuration interaction expansion and basis (linear algebra)) into linear combinations of anti-symmetrized products (Slater determinants) of one-electron functions. The spatial components of these one-electron functions are called atomic orbitals. (When one considers also their spin c ...

Atom: Encyclopedia - Atomic physics

Atomic physics (or atom physics) is the field of physics that studies the electron hull of atoms. Lay people often associate the term atomic physics with nuclear power and nuclear bombs, obviously due to the synonymous use of atomic and nuclear in standard English. However, physicists distinguish between atomic physics (dealing with the effects of the electron hull and the nucleus's overall spin and electric charge) and nuclear physics (dealing with the forces within the atomic ...

Atom: Encyclopedia - Atomic mass

The atomic mass of a chemical element (also known as the relative atomic mass or average atomic mass or atomic weight) is the average atomic mass of all the chemical element's isotopes as found in a particular environment, weighted by isotopic abundance. Periodic tables usually list these with reference to the local environment of Earth's crust and atmosphere. For artificial elements the nucleon count of the most stable is ...

Atom: Encyclopedia - Atomic nucleus

The nucleus of an atom is the very dense region in its center consisting of protons and neutrons. The size of the nucleus is much smaller than the size of the atom itself, and almost all of the mass in an atom is made up from the protons and neutrons with almost no contribution from the electrons. Atomic nucleus - Nuclear Makeup. The nucleus of an atom is made up of very tightly bound protons and neutrons. The electromagnetic force which causes like charges to repel prevents protons from binding together wi ...

Atom: Encyclopedia - Atomic number

The atomic number (Z) is a term used in chemistry and physics to represent the number of protons found in the nucleus of an atom. In an atom of neutral charge, the number of electrons also equals the atomic number. The atomic number originally meant the number of an element's place in the periodic table. When Mendeleyev arranged the known chemical elements grouped by their similarities in chemistry, it was noticeable that placing them in strict order of atomic mass resulted in some mismatches. Iodine and tellurium ...
