Bose-Einstein nucleus element boson Bose-Einstein statistics 0 uncertainty principle Nucleus of even A-number (i.e., those with integral spin) (cf. Fermi-Dirac nuclei). Bose-Einstein nuclei do not obey the exclusion principle, and their ground state has zero angular momentum. non-zero

deuteron element charged particle uncertainty principle The nucleus of a deuterium atom. m_d = 2.01355 amu. 1 d

even-odd nucleus element fermion Fermi-Dirac statistics half-integral exclusion principle Nucleus that contain even numbers of protons but odd numbers of neutrons. non-zero

Fermi-Dirac nuclei element nucleus uncertainty principle Nuclei of odd A-number (i.e., nuclei that do not have integral spin) (cf. Bose-Einstein nuclei). Fermi-Dirac nuclei therefore obey the exclusion principle (q.v.). non-zero

isomer element nucleus uncertainty principle Nucleus with the same A and Z numbers but in different energy states. non-zero

isotone element nucleus uncertainty principle Nucleus with the same number of neutrons but with different A and Z numbers. non-zero

isotope element nucleus uncertainty principle Two nuclei with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons are said to represent the same element, but different isotopes. For example, helium-3, with two protons and one neutron in each nucleus, and helium-4, with two protons and two neutrons, are two different isotopes of helium. For another example, see deuterium. non-zero

nuclide element nucleus uncertainty principle A species of atomic nucleus, analogous to the word "isotope" for a species of atom. The word is also used to distinguish between atomic nuclei that are in different energy states. non-zero

proton nucleus Fermi-Dirac statistics 3 charged particle 1/2 uncertainty principle 939 MeV A positively charged elementary particle; the nucleus of a hydrogen atom. Mass of proton 1.00728 amu = 1.6726 × 10^-24 g = 1836.12 m_e. 1 -has source: Hopkins, J. 1976 Glossary of Astronomy and Astrophysics, University of Chicago Press p two up quarks and one down quark

triton the total energy produced when the particle decays element radioactive particle uncertainty principle the products produced immediately after decay The nucleus of the tritium atom. 1 The average time in which a particle decays T
