How would you determine the number of proton-proton pairs, the number of neutron-neutron pairs, and the number of neutron-neutron pairs in an atom given its atomic number and mass number? Hence show that Carbon has 15 proton-proton pairs and 10 neutron-neutron pairs.

What is an example of a baryon that isn't a proton or a neutron?

If you drop a proton and a neutron in a gravitational field, they both fall, but...

If you drop a proton and a neutron in a gravitational field, they both fall, but the proton has a charge and accelerating charges radiate energy, so that leaves less kinetic energy for the proton and by this reasoning, it should fall more slowly than a charge-free object. The issue is discussed but not in the terms above in Peierls's "Surprises in Theoretical Physics" in the chapter "radiation in hyperbolic motion", but I didn't understand the chapter well enough (or...

(a) You decided to turn a neutron into a proton. Making sure that the charge is conserved, you wrote down n → p + e-. When you actually did the experiment, an antineutrino came out in addition, making the actual interaction n → p + e -+ ¯ν. Among what needs to be conserved, what was not conserved in the interaction without the antineutrino? (b) You managed to capture the emitted electron inside of a one-dimensional infinite potential well with...

Outside the nucleus, the neutron itself is radioactive and decays into a proton, an electron, and an antineutrino. The half-life of a neutron (mass = 1.675 × 10-27 kg) outside the nucleus is 10.4 min. On average, over what distance x would a beam of 5.55-eV neutrons travel before the number of neutrons decreased to 75.0% of its initial value? Ignore relativistic effects.

The deuteron is a bound state of a proton and a neutron of total angular momentum j = 1. It is known to be principally an S(ℓ = 0) state with a small admixture of a D(ℓ = 2) state. Calculate the magnetic moment of the pure d state n-p system with j = 1. Assume that the n and p spins are to be coupled to make the total spin s which is then coupled to the orbital angular...

Please solve this conceptual question. In positron decay, a proton in the nucleus becomes a neutron and its positive charge is carried away by the positron. A neutron, though, has a larger rest energy than a proton. How is that possible?
