– With the atomic number one, there is one proton in the nucleus and one electron orbiting the nucleus of a normal (electrically neutral) hydrogen atom. – The relative atomic mass minus the atomic number tells you there are no neutrons in the nucleus of an average atom.

The element hydrogen has the simplest atoms, each with just one proton and one electron. The proton forms the nucleus, while the electron orbits around it. All other elements have neutrons as well as protons in their nucleus, such as helium, which is depicted in Figure 2.2.

The number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons. The mass number of the atom (M) is equal to the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. The number of neutrons is equal to the difference between the mass number of the atom (M) and the atomic number (Z).

Nitrogen is capable of having a +5 valence state because it has 5 valence electrons. That’s the limiting factor: a Group 15 element can’t be +6 because it doesn’t have enough valence electrons, and in fact no group 15 element has a +6 oxidation state.

The valency of nitrogen is 3 because it needs 3 atoms of hydrogen to form ammonia. The nearest noble gas to magnesium is neon with electronic configuration of [2,8], to achieve this stable electronic configuration Mg can lose 2 valence electrons, hence its valency is 2 + .

This tells us that in an atom of N there are 7 protons and 7 electrons.

During the 1800s it became evident that electric charge had a natural unit, which could not be subdivided any further, and in 1891 Johnstone Stoney proposed to name it “electron.” When J.J. Thomson discovered the light particle which carried that charge, the name “electron” was applied to it.

Most electric charge is carried by the electrons and protons within an atom. Electrons are said to carry negative charge, while protons are said to carry positive charge, although these labels are completely arbitrary (more on that later).

The human body is neutrally charged. You feel static charge because the hairs on your skin gets positively or negatively charged when rubbed.

The elements in our bodies, like sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium, have a specific electrical charge. Almost all of our cells can use these charged elements, called ions, to generate electricity. The flow of charges across the cell membrane is what generates electrical currents.

Body capacitance is the physical property of the human body that has it act as a capacitor. Like any other electrically-conductive object, a human body can store electric charge if insulated.

The consensus of recent major global studies of generation costs is that wind and solar power are the lowest-cost sources of electricity available today.

Earth batteries can produce up to 5 volts – enough to power everyday electronics such as radios, lamps, and mobile phones. They’re one of the most powerful clean energy systems for off-grid communities and homes.

There are three isotopes of the element hydrogen: hydrogen, deuterium, and tritium. Hydrogen has no neutron, deuterium has one, and tritium has two neutrons. The isotopes of hydrogen have, respectively, mass numbers of one, two, and three.

Yes and no. Yes in the sense that free neutrons exist without protons or electrons. But no in the sense that a neutron isn’t itself an element. Neutron counts affect the mass of atoms but their presence in atoms themselves do not change the atom of an element into another element.

Neutronium (n) (also called element zero or neutron degenerate matter) is the name for the element with an atomic number of zero. It’s average atomic mass is 1, because it is only ever found naturally, outside of neutron stars, as a lone neutron.

TL;DR: there are no electron or proton stars because there is not enough energy in the universe to form them.

That star can either be completely destroyed, become a black hole, or become a neutron star. The outcome depends on the dying star’s mass and other factors, all of which shape what happens when stars explode in a supernova. Neutron stars are among the densest objects in the cosmos. Neutron stars produce no new heat.

When stars die, depending on their size, they lose mass and become more dense until they collapse in a supernova explosion. Some turn into endless black holes that devour anything around them, while others leave behind a neutron star, which is a dense remnant of a star too small to turn into a black hole, reports CNN.

Neutron stars cannot stay hot forever. Neutron stars cool because they radiate. (This is called radiational cooling.) Except for their gravitational field which distorts spacetime in the vicinity of a neutron star, most lone neutron stars slowly fade away over time, eventually becoming essentially invisible.

A star with a mass of about 1.5 to 2 or 3 times that of our Sun will collapse even further, ending up as a neutron star, perhaps 20 kilometers in diameter. The star ultimately becomes a black hole, a region in space so massive that no light or matter can ever escape from it.

It is estimated to be about 34 million years old. In theory a neutron star should outlive any other type of star. So the oldest neutron star is probably at least as old as the oldest known star, or nearly the age of the universe.

Neutron stars are the cinders left when massive stars implode, shedding their outer layers in supernova explosions. The stars are poised on the edge, just this side of collapsing into a black hole, and the immense gravitational pressure squeezes their electrons and protons into neutrons.

No. A neutron star has such an intense gravitational field and high temperature that you could not survive a close encounter of any kind. Its gravitational pull would accelerate you so much you would smash into it at a good fraction of the speed of light.

When a neutron star meets a black hole that’s much more massive, such as the recently observed events, says Susan Scott, an astrophysicist with the Australian National University, “we expect that the two bodies circle each other in a spiral. Eventually the black hole would just swallow the neutron star like Pac-Man.”

While stellar collisions may occur very frequently in certain parts of the galaxy, the likelihood of a collision involving the Sun is very small. Astronomers say that if a stellar collision happens within 100 light years of the Earth, the resulting gamma-ray burst could possibly destroy all life on Earth.

Such a burst flings star matter out into space but leaves behind the stellar core. In the stellar remnants of a supernova, however, there are no longer forces to oppose that gravity, so the star core begins to collapse in on itself. If its mass collapses into an infinitely small point, a black hole is born.

Anything that gets too close to the central singularity of a black hole, be it an asteroid, planet, or star, risks being torn apart by its extreme gravitational field.

Black holes are regions of space-time where gravity rules: The gravitational pull of a black hole is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape. But even the black holes will one day die.

At the horizon, space is falling into the black hole at the speed of light. It is true that nothing can travel through space faster than light. However, in general relativity, space itself can do whatever it likes.

Of course, no matter what type of black hole you fall into, you’re ultimately going to get torn apart by the extreme gravity. No material, especially fleshy human bodies, could survive intact. So once you pass beyond the edge of the event horizon, you’re done. There’s no getting out.
