Given a measurable space (,) and a measure on that space, a set in is called an atom if > and for any measurable subset , either () = or () = (). [ 1 ] The equivalence class of A {\displaystyle A} is defined by [ A ] := { B ∈ Σ : μ ( A Δ B ) = 0 } , {\displaystyle [A]:=\{B\in \Sigma :\mu (A\Delta B)=0\},} where Δ {\displaystyle \Delta ...
Atomic units are chosen to reflect the properties of electrons in atoms, which is particularly clear in the classical Bohr model of the hydrogen atom for the bound electron in its ground state: Mass = 1 a.u. of mass; Charge = −1 a.u. of charge; Orbital radius = 1 a.u. of length; Orbital velocity = 1 a.u. of velocity [44]: 597
In the mathematical field of order theory, an element a of a partially ordered set with least element 0 is an atom if 0 < a and there is no x such that 0 < x < a. Equivalently, one may define an atom to be an element that is minimal among the non-zero elements, or alternatively an element that covers the least element 0 .
If an atom has more electrons than protons, then it has an overall negative charge and is called a negative ion (or anion). Conversely, if it has more protons than electrons, it has a positive charge and is called a positive ion (or cation). The electrons of an atom are attracted to the protons in an atomic nucleus by the electromagnetic force.
Richard Gordon FitzGerald Uniacke, FRSAI (19 August 1867 – 11 November 1934) [1] was a British genealogist and librarian. He was the eldest son of the Rev. Robert FitzGerald Uniacke, late vicar of Tandridge, Surrey , a descendant of an old Irish family, the Uniackes of Uniacke and Castleton, County Cork. [ 2 ]
The adoption of the term "nucleus" to atomic theory, however, was not immediate. In 1916, for example, Gilbert N. Lewis stated, in his famous article The Atom and the Molecule, that "the atom is composed of the kernel and an outer atom or shell." [12] Similarly, the term kern meaning kernel is used for nucleus in German and Dutch.
Norman Fitzgerald Uniacke (ca 1777 – December 11, 1846) was a lawyer, judge and political figure in Lower Canada and Nova Scotia. He represented William-Henry in the Legislative Assembly of Lower Canada from 1824 to 1825.
Richard John Uniacke (June 6, 1789 – February 21, 1834) was a lawyer, judge and political figure in Nova Scotia. He represented Cape Breton County in the Nova Scotia House of Assembly from 1820 to 1830. He was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, the son of Richard John Uniacke and Martha Maria Delesdernier who was the daughter of Moses Delesdernier.
