The name Atom applies to a pair of related Web standards. The Atom Syndication Format is an XML language used for web feeds, while the Atom Publishing Protocol (AtomPub or APP) is a simple HTTP-based protocol for creating and updating web resources.Web feeds allow software programs to check for updates published on a website. To provide a web feed, the site owner may use specialized software (such as a content management system) that publishes a list (or "feed") of recent articles or content in a standardized, machine-readable format. The feed can then be downloaded by programs that use it, like websites that syndicate content from the feed, or by feed reader programs that allow internet users to subscribe to feeds and view their content.
A feed contains entries, which may be headlines, full-text articles, excerpts, summaries or links to content on a website along with various metadata.
The Atom format was developed as an alternative to RSS. Ben Trott, an advocate of the new format that became Atom, believed that RSS had limitations and flaws—such as lack of on-going innovation and its necessity to remain backward compatible—and that there were advantages to a fresh design.Proponents of the new format formed the IETF Atom Publishing Format and Protocol Workgroup. The Atom Syndication Format was published as an IETF proposed standard in RFC 4287 (December 2005), and the Atom Publishing Protocol was published as RFC 5023 (October 2007).
How are the atoms of carbon arranged when it combines with other atoms in organic compounds?
is there any particular formula for the angles being exhibited by covalent bonds of the compound?

I was reading a book about quantum mechanics and in some point it used as an example the reaction of the atom while its traveling through a magnetic field . So the author described an atom as a magnetic arrow ( which isn't complety right but he did that so he can reveal the truth...

I have a couple of questions about selection rules for the hydrogen atom.

A stationary hydrogen atom with a mass of 1.67 x10^-27 kg absorbs a photon of light with an energy of 10.2eV.What is the velocity of the hydrogen atom after absorbing the photon?

Typically (in popular literature) the process of photon emission by an excited atom is considered as an instant event. But actually it is quite likely that it is a continuous process. Such processes are usually described by evolutionary differential equations (ODEs or PDEs). Assume that we...
I just read the thread entitled: "How did Einstein Define Time" and I'm very confused.

If we have a moving, neutral atom, say hydrogen, will it react to a magnetic field?
If yes, why?
If you ask why not, I argue that the atom as a whole is a chargeless entity.
Let us assume there is a single atom in a vacuum chamber which is kept at near absolute zero. Now assume the system is closed and that the chamber is large enough such that the atom cannot diffuse far enough to reach the walls. Neglecting other stochastic effects, what do you think the atom's...
