Mišo Zozoli. Josip Dajčman. Atomi (trans. The Atoms) were a Yugoslav rock band formed in Zagreb in 1961. They were one of the pioneers of the Yugoslav rock scene . Heavily influenced by The Shadows, Atomi were arguably the first instrumental rock band in Yugoslavia. The band gained local popularity, which gave them an opportunity to become ...
Atoms are the basic particles of the chemical elements. An atom consists of a nucleus of protons and generally neutrons, surrounded by an electromagnetically bound swarm of electrons. The chemical elements are distinguished from each other by the number of protons that are in their atoms. For example, any atom that contains 11 protons is sodium ...
List of chemical elements. 118 chemical elements have been identified and named officially by IUPAC. A chemical element, often simply called an element, is a type of atom which has a specific number of protons in its atomic nucleus (i.e., a specific atomic number, or Z ). [1]
The periodic table is a tabular arrangement of the chemical elements, organized by their atomic number, electron configuration, and chemical properties. It is a useful tool for understanding the patterns and trends of the elements and their interactions. Learn more about the history, structure, and significance of the periodic table on Wikipedia.
Indium. body-centered tetragonal ( tI2) Indium is a chemical element; it has symbol In and atomic number 49. It is a silvery-white post-transition metal and one of the softest elements. Chemically, indium is similar to gallium and thallium, and its properties are largely intermediate between the two. [10]
Germanium is a chemical element; it has symbol Ge and atomic number 32. It is lustrous, hard-brittle, grayish-white and similar in appearance to silicon. It is a metalloid (more rarely considered a metal) in the carbon group that is chemically similar to its group neighbors silicon and tin. Like silicon, germanium naturally reacts and forms ...
Atomic radius. Diagram of a helium atom, showing the electron probability density as shades of gray. The atomic radius of a chemical element is a measure of the size of its atom, usually the mean or typical distance from the center of the nucleus to the outermost isolated electron. Since the boundary is not a well-defined physical entity, there ...
Atomism (from Greek ἄτομον, atomon, i.e. "uncuttable, indivisible") [1] [2] [3] is a natural philosophy proposing that the physical universe is composed of fundamental indivisible components known as atoms . References to the concept of atomism and its atoms appeared in both ancient Greek and ancient Indian philosophical traditions.
