A subatomic particle having a mass of 1.0073 amu and a charge of +1, found in thew nuclei of atoms.
Absolute Zero
The zero point on the absolute temperature scale, -273.15°C or 0 K, theoretically, the temperature at which molecular motion ceases. The concept of an absolute zero temperature was first deduced from experiments with gases. When a fixed volume of gas is cooled, its pressure decreases with its temperature. Absolute zero physically possesses quantum mechanical zero-point energy.
Atomic Radius
Radius of an atom.
Exothermicity
The release of heat by a system as a process occurs.
