How to use this blog

Welcome All
Our blog hosts more than 600 questions with their solutions in Physics and we are continously adding it
We also provide Test series for IITJEE,AIEEE,PMTalong with their there with answers.
All the material and Test series in our site aims to help you lern physics better.
We have been giving articles according to the units in Physics.
We have Index for all units, so if you look at a particular unit,check out our Index column.
This blog we try to give concise and good material to the students to help in their studies and competition
May your endeavour be fruitful and all the best!
Please give us feedback on improving our service.
We will happy receive comments from you
Thanks for Visiting the Blog

Atomic nucleus

(A) Introduction
1. Atomic nucleus exists at the center of the atom. Nucleus of an atom consists of entire positive charge of the atom and almost all of its mass.
2. Nuclei is made up of protons and neutrons out of which protons are positively charged particles and neutrons does not posess any charge.
3. Neutrons and protons togather are known as neutrons.
(B) Protons
1. Protons are positively charged particles.
2. Magnitude of charge on a proton is +1.6x10-19 C.
3. Mass of a proton is 1841 times greater then that of an electron.
4. Total number of protons in a atomic nucleus (Z-atomic number) is equal to the number of electrons in the neutral atom.
(c) Neutron
1. Neutron is a chargeless particle.
2. Mass of a neutron is aproximately equal to the mass of a proton.
3. The number of protons plus the number of neutrons in the nucleus is known as mass number of the nucleus.
(D) Definations
1. Nuclide:- A single nuclear species (single value of both Z and N ) is called nuclide and it is represented as ZXA.
2. Isotopes:- Nuclides having same number of protons but different number of neutrons.
3. Isobars:- Nuclides having same number of nucleons but different number of protons.
4. Isotones:- Nuclides having same number of neutrons but different number of protons.
(E) Properties of nucleus
1. The radius of nucleus is of the order of 10-15.
2. Radius of nuclei is represented by the relation
R=R0A1/3
where R0=1.2x10-15 is a constant same for all the nuclei.
3. Volume of the nuclei is proportional to A.
4. Density of nuclei is very high about 1012 times greater then that of lead.
5. Nucleus also posess angular momentum and magnetic moment which arises as a result of continous motion of neutrons and protons inside the atomic nucleus.

Complete notes of various chapters in physics are available at website also visit the website for one year free online learning program in physics OLP. This OLP would prove helpful for those preparing for various competetive exams like IITJEE, AIEEE, PMT, CBSE and also for board examinations.
