A proton can be thought of as a hydrogen atom that has lost its electron. Since the mass of an electron is small, the mass of a proton is equal to the mass of a hydrogen atom. As the mass of hydrogen atom is for all pr..

It has been found that the stability of nucleus depends upon its neutron to proton (n/p) ratio. A plot of N (the neutron number) against Z (atomic number or number of protons) show that for stable nuclides upto Z = 20, N = 20 i.e., the relationship can be rep..

Since the atom is electrically neutral there had to be positively charged particles present in the atom to neutralize the negative charge of the electrons..

The whole mass of an atom is due to the nucleus, which means that the nucleus must contain protons equal to the mass of the atom. As the number of protons is equal to the atomic number, the atomic mass should be equal to the atomic number. But for ..

Search for the missing particle - Although Rutherford's model was enormously successful at explaining the scattering of alpha particles, there was a problem when the experimental data were used to calculate the mass of the nucleus. From the results of the scattering experiments, it was po..

It has been found that the stability of nucleus depends upon its neutron to proton (n/p) ratio. A plot of N (the neutron number) against Z (atomic number or number of protons) show that for stable nuclides upto Z = 20, N = 20 i.e., the relationship ca..

The mass of an electron is 1/1840 of the mass of a hydrogen atom. Since the mass of hydrogen atom is almost 1 a.m.u., the relative mass of an electron is 1/1840 a.m.u. The absolute mass of the electron is 9 x 10 -28 g..

Production of anode rays - Since the atom is electrically neutral there must be positively charged particles present in the atom to neutralize the negative charges of the electrons. Goldstein experimentally proved the existence of protons in the ato..
