Richard John Uniacke Richard John Uniacke by Robert Field Born (1753-11-22) November 22, 1753 Castletown, Kingdom of Ireland Died October 11, 1830 (1830-10-11) (aged 76) Mount Uniacke, Nova Scotia Richard John Uniacke (November 22, 1753 – October 11, 1830) was an abolitionist, lawyer, politician, member of the Nova Scotia House of Assembly and Attorney General of Nova Scotia. According to ...
Hooke's atom, also known as harmonium or hookium, refers to an artificial helium-like atom where the Coulombic electron-nucleus interaction potential is replaced by a harmonic potential. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] This system is of significance as it is, for certain values of the force constant defining the harmonic containment, an exactly solvable [ 3 ...
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.
The optical spectrum of the two electron atom has two systems of lines. A para system of single lines, and an ortho system of triplets (closely spaced group of three lines). The energy levels in the atom for the single lines are indicated by 1 S 0 1 P 1 1 D 2 1 F 3 etc., and for the triplets, some energy levels are split: 3 S 1 3 P 2 3 P 1 3 P ...
A hydrogen-like atom (or hydrogenic atom) is any atom or ion with a single valence electron.These atoms are isoelectronic with hydrogen.Examples of hydrogen-like atoms include, but are not limited to, hydrogen itself, all alkali metals such as Rb and Cs, singly ionized alkaline earth metals such as Ca + and Sr + and other ions such as He +, Li 2+, and Be 3+ and isotopes of any of the above.
The estate was built as a country residence for Richard John Uniacke, Nova Scotia's Attorney-General during the War of 1812.Located along the "Post Road", the original road between Halifax and Windsor, the site was, according to Uniacke's s family, selected in 1776 while Uniacke being taken to Halifax in chains to face a treason trial for siding with the rebels in the Battle of Fort Cumberland.
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 .
A hadronic atom is an atom in which one or more of the orbital electrons are replaced by a negatively charged hadron. [8] Possible hadrons include mesons such as the pion or kaon, yielding a pionic atom [9] or a kaonic atom (see Kaonic hydrogen), collectively called mesonic atoms; antiprotons, yielding an antiprotonic atom; and the Σ −
