    Introduction Neutrons are subatomic particles that, along with protons, make up atomic nuclei. Neutrons are neutral, carrying no net electric charge. Basic Properties Neutrons are slightly more massive than protons. The mass of a neutron is approximately: Since neutrons carry no net electric charge, their electric charge is 0. Structure and Composition Neutrons are also…

    Introduction Protons are subatomic particles with positive electric charge. They reside with neutrons within the atomic nucleus, with electrons “orbiting” around them. Basic Properties The proton carries a positive charge, denoted as , where is the elementary charge. The value of the elementary charge is: The mass of a proton is significantly greater than that…

    Introduction The Pauli Exclusion Principle is a fundamental concept in quantum mechanics, formulated by Austrian physicist Wolfgang Pauli in 1925. This principle is crucial for understanding the behavior of electrons in atoms and forms the basis for the structure of the periodic table of elements. Statement of the Pauli Exclusion Principle The Pauli Exclusion Principle…
