    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_equations_in...

    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. Valley of stability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valley_of_stability

    The figure at right shows the average binding energy per nucleon as a function of atomic mass number along the line of beta stability, that is, along the bottom of the valley of stability. For very small atomic mass number (H, He, Li), binding energy per nucleon is small, and this energy increases rapidly with atomic mass number.

  4. Rutherford scattering experiments - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rutherford_scattering...

    The geometry of Rutherford's scattering formula, based on a diagram in his 1911 paper. The alpha particle is the green dot and moves along the green path, which is a hyperbola with O as its centre and S as its external focus. The atomic nucleus is located at S. A is the apsis, the point of closest approach.

  5. Fine-structure constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fine-structure_constant

    The fine-structure constant gives the maximum positive charge of an atomic nucleus that will allow a stable electron-orbit around it within the Bohr model (element feynmanium). [20] For an electron orbiting an atomic nucleus with atomic number Z the relation is ⁠ m v 2 / r ⁠ = ⁠ 1 / 4π ε 0 ⁠ ⁠ Z e 2 / r 2 ⁠ .

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debye–Waller_factor

    [1] [2] It is also called the B factor, atomic B factor, or temperature factor. Often, "Debye–Waller factor" is used as a generic term that comprises the Lamb–Mössbauer factor of incoherent neutron scattering and Mössbauer spectroscopy .

  7. Nuclear binding energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_binding_energy

    A graphical representation of the semi-empirical binding energy formula. The binding energy per nucleon in MeV (highest numbers in yellow, in excess of 8.5 MeV per nucleon) is plotted for various nuclides as a function of Z, the atomic number (y-axis), vs. N, the number of neutrons (x-axis). The highest numbers are seen for Z = 26 (iron).

  8. Radioactive decay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioactive_decay

    Beta decay transforms a neutron into proton or vice versa. When a neutron inside a parent nuclide decays to a proton, an electron, a anti-neutrino, and nuclide with high atomic number results. When a proton in a parent nuclide transforms to a neutron, a positron, a neutrino, and nuclide with a lower atomic number results. These changes are a ...

  9. Mott–Bethe formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mott–Bethe_formula

    The Mott–Bethe formula is an approximation used to calculate atomic electron scattering form factors, (,), from atomic X-ray scattering form factors, (,). [1] [2] [3] The formula was derived independently by Hans Bethe and Neville Mott both in 1930, [4] [5] and simply follows from applying the first Born approximation for the scattering of electrons via the Coulomb interaction together with ...
