... Neon: The atom has 10 electrons. It has three closed subshells (1s, 2s, and 2p) and, like the other noble gases that form the right-hand column of the periodic table, is almost chemically inert. Sodium: The atom has 11 electrons. Ten of them form a closed neon-like core, and has zero angular momentu ...

Constituents and Shapes of Nuclei and Nucleons
... The kinetic energy of protons in the nucleus is about 1 million times larger than the kinetic energy of electrons in an atom, just by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, and in good agreement with experimental data. The high energy of nuclear processes is an inevitable consequence of the small siz ...

1 The Nature of Light: Wave versus Particle Light travels in a
... Two atoms together have six degrees of freedom, because each can move in threedimensional space. If the atoms are bound together, however, their motions are not independent. One can speak of the three degrees of freedom for translation of the molecule as a whole (center of mass motion) and also the ...
