Electromagnetic Radiation and Atomic Physics
... Since mp = 1836 me and mn = 1839 me, most of the mass of an atom is concentrated in its nucleus. An ion is an atom that has either a deficit or a surplus of electrons. The process of removing an electron from an atom is called “ionization”. The number of protons in the nucleus determines the chemica ...

THE ATOM Elements Isotopes Ions
... The electrons of an atom are not arranged randomly, but exist in shells. They are negatively charged but they do tend to pair up (much like girls going to the toilet!!! ☺). They can pair up because they spin on their axis and thus generate a magnetic field. Two electrons spinning on their axis in th ...
