The process of changing one element into another is called transmutation. The two main ways that a transuranic nucleus can be produced is by bombarding its nucleus with ions or neutrons. These ions or neutrons can be captured by the target nucleus and produce heavier nucleus. Transuranic element 1: U-238 is bombarded with neutrons it can be converted to U-239 which then undergoes beta decay to produce neptunium and plutonium. Pu-239 is changed to americium-241 by neutron
Astronomy 10 Chapter 11 1. Both used to be normal stars but the white dwarf ran out of hydrogen, they are both subjected to gravitational theories. A Neutron star is a fluid of neutrons, as hot at its surface as the inside of the sun and has a greater magnetic field. 3. Because its density is so high, neutrons spin in the same way that electrons do so must obey the Pauli Exclusion Principle.

Using the Flame Test to Prove Different Colors of Light are Emitted as the Electrons Move from an Exited State Back to a Ground State 1. Introduction / Purpose (5 points) According to Mr. Darrell Ebbing and Mr. Steven Gammon (2013, p. 273) Albert Einstein “reasoned that if a vibrating atom changed energy, from 3hv to 2hv, it would decrease in energy by hv and this energy would be emitted as a quantum of light energy.” The reasoning was based on “Mr. Max Planck’s work on Quantization of Energy (Ebbing & Gammon, 2013, p. 273)”. In this experiment, this reasoning will be tested by taking small amounts of four different salts that contain metal, Sodium Chloride (NaCl), Potassium Chloride (KCl), Lithium Chloride (LiCl), and Barium Chloride (BaCl_2), and heating them using the flame of a Bunsen burner. As Model Science (2011) explains, the experiment will show that as the salt with the metal is “burned, the electrons will be excited (i.e., move to another energy level) and as these electrons fall back from one energy level to another, they will emit photons of light.

David Kemp OCR Chemistry A Unit 1: F321 Atomic Structure (a) describe protons, neutrons and electrons in terms of relative charge and relative mass; Proton +1 1 Neutron 0 1 Electron -1 1/2000 Relative Charge Relative Mass (b) describe the distribution of mass and charge Within an atom; Positively charged Nucleus containing most of the mass, surrounded by atomic shells with orbiting electrons of negative charge and negligible mass. (c) describe the contribution of protons and neutrons to the nucleus of an atom, in terms of atomic (proton) number and mass (nucleon) number. The atomic number of the nucleus, also the proton number, shows the number of protons in the nucleus. It also defines the element. The number of neutrons added to the number of protons is the nucleon number or mass number.
(Delgado 43) Research in atomic energy progressed when scientists learned that using a neutron to bombard atoms performed better than protons and alpha particles. That process would later become known as fission. Later into the research, two radio chemists, Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann would pioneer that the result of the splitting an atom concluded in lighter elements. They
Electron Configuration thru Flame Burning Allan E. Arroyo Melendez INSTRUCTOR: Dr. Chernovitz Sunday, 05, 2014 PURPOSE/INTRODUCTION The purpose of this experiment is to determine the electron configuration of an unknown metal by flame burning using a Benson burner. The hypothesis is that when an element is burned, the electrons will be excited. Then as these electrons fall back from one energy level to another, they will emit photons of light. These photons will have different colors depending on the element and its discrete energy levels. That is, different wavelengths of light (colors) will be emitted when the electrons of different elements go down the steps between their energy levels.
On each of these wafers the quantum dots are in between the substrate. On the last page it is shown, where the Indium quantum dots lie. In Kevin's assessment each quantum dot can "hold electrons. This control of the electrons causes them to emit light. If the quantum dots are placed in the cavity, the spot on the wafers where there are no crystals, in the middle, and capture electrons then the aims of the process are a success.
The atomic bomb works by a physical phenomenon known as Fission. In this case, particles, specifically nuclei, are split and great amounts of energy are released. This energy is expelled explosively and violently in the atomic bomb. The massive power behind the reaction in an atomic bomb arises from the forces that hold the atom together called the strong nuclear force. The element used in atomic bombs is Uranium-235.
