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 do you calculate the surface atom density of an fcc(111) surface expressed in terms of a?
I've managed to do it for fcc(100) and fcc(110), but I can't seem to figure it out for fcc(111).
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Eisberg and Resnick says that the condition for stability of the atom is:
k Ze2/r2=mv2/r
What I fail to understand is why the Z isn't square too. I mean surely you have Z electrons interacting with Z protons which which would surely give q1q2=(Ze)(-Ze)=-Z2e2?
What am I missing?
This ought to be simple, I think. But I haven't found a consistent way to think about things yet.

Is the ionization energy of Francium to high to be achieved with just one photon?
And another quick question, how hot must the light-emitter get before it begins to emit x-rays, and then how hot for gamma rays?
Why can't an electron have a even lower energy level in atom and be closer to the nuclei? (as the next step is to fuse with one of the protons and make neutron.. )
I am looking for a fairly simplistic answer to why different "shells" in atoms can only hold a specific number of electrons. There is so much based on valence electrons and how many electrons make a full shell but, do we know why atoms "seek" a full outer shell? It seems like there should be a...

I almost have the answer, I'm sure there's just a minor flaw in my reasoning. Here it goes:
We're given that the angular momentum of the atom is integer multiples of h-bar (n\hbar) (integer depending on the orbit). Now the centripetal force is given by F = \frac{mv^2}{r} = \frac{p^2}{mr} =...
Hi
In the following paper (on page 5) is the standard derivation of the force acting on an atom, whose center-of-mass motion is described classically. What I don't understand is the step taken from (5) to (6).

I know that when a photon strikes an atom, it excites an electron, which then will re-emit the photon when it returns to normal. But what is actually happening here? Is it really as simple as that, or is there something more fundamental going on here, like how nuclei are bound together using...

About the atomic radius,
as a starter it was mentioned (and correct me if am wrong) that:
Rcation < Ratom< Ranion (And we'll know the size of the atom based on these)
Then it was mentioned that: Radius of atom of a certain element increase if we walk straight downwards along a column in the...
How big would the nucleus be?
A grain of sand (0.1cm diameter)
A marble (1cm diameter)
