    Quantity (common name/s) (Common) symbol/s Defining equation SI units Dimension Number of atoms N = Number of atoms remaining at time t. N 0 = Initial number of atoms at time t = 0

  3. Mass–energy equivalence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass–energy_equivalence

    The mass of an atomic nucleus is less than the total mass of the protons and neutrons that make it up. [15] This mass decrease is also equivalent to the energy required to break up the nucleus into individual protons and neutrons. This effect can be understood by looking at the potential energy of the individual components.

  4. Schrödinger equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schrödinger_equation

    The reduced mass in place of the electron mass is used since the electron and proton together orbit each other about a common center of mass, and constitute a two-body problem to solve. The motion of the electron is of principal interest here, so the equivalent one-body problem is the motion of the electron using the reduced mass.

  5. Proton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton

    Its mass is slightly less than the mass of a neutron and approximately 1836 times the mass of an electron (the proton-to-electron mass ratio). Protons and neutrons, each with a mass of approximately one atomic mass unit, are jointly referred to as nucleons (particles present in atomic nuclei). One or more protons are present in the nucleus of ...

  6. Mass excess - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_excess

    The mass excess of a nuclide is the difference between its actual mass and its mass number in daltons.It is one of the predominant methods for tabulating nuclear mass. The mass of an atomic nucleus is well approximated (less than 0.1% difference for most nuclides) by its mass number, which indicates that most of the mass of a nucleus arises from mass of its constituent protons and neutrons.

  7. Bohr radius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohr_radius

    Since the reduced mass of the electron–proton system is a little bit smaller than the electron mass, the "reduced" Bohr radius is slightly larger than the Bohr radius (meters). This result can be generalized to other systems, such as positronium (an electron orbiting a positron ) and muonium (an electron orbiting an anti-muon ) by using the ...

  8. Proton-to-electron mass ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton-to-electron_mass_ratio

    In physics, the proton-to-electron mass ratio (symbol μ or β) is the rest mass of the proton (a baryon found in atoms) divided by that of the electron (a lepton found in atoms), a dimensionless quantity, namely: μ = m p /⁠m e = 1 836.152 673 426 (32). [1]

  9. Mathematical formulation of the Standard Model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_formulation...

    This article describes the mathematics of the Standard Model of particle physics, a gauge quantum field theory containing the internal symmetries of the unitary product group SU(3) × SU(2) × U(1). The theory is commonly viewed as describing the fundamental set of particles – the leptons , quarks , gauge bosons and the Higgs boson .
