Subatomic particles

What are subatomic particles?

subatomic particles are the materials that make up atoms or things even smaller than that like protons and neutrons and quarks. Some are:

    nuetrinos,

    higgs boson,

    z and w boson,

    photons,

    and pi-meson (pion)

Because the most high powered microscope can only see atoms, the things inside the atom are estimated.

What are quarks?

Quarks are subatomic particles that make up subatomic particles like protons, neutrons, pi-meson,etc. There are six types of quarks which are up, down, top, bottom, charm, and strange quarks

The size of the quarks aren't relevant but the masses are

What quarks make up certain things?

Protons consist of one down quark and two up quarks while neutrons consist of one up quark. Pions consist of one up quark and one down anti-quark.

What is a Higgs boson?

Higgs Boson is a recently discovered particle, and when other particles pass through the Higgs Boson, they gain mass. Peter Higgs and François Englert helped discover this new particle. The Higgs Boson particle is a type of boson particle with no spin, charge, or color charge. It is very unstable and immediately decays into other particles. On July 4, 2012, the ATLAS and CMS experiments at CERN's Hadron collider announced that had each observed a new particle in the mass region around 126 GeV. On October 8, 2013 Peter Higgs and François Englert won the Peace Prize because of the dicovery of the Higgs Boson particle.

What is a Pi-meson?

Pi-meson is long for pion (but pion is also an insult!). Pions that are negatively charged and pions that are positively charged only last 26 nanoseconds and ones that are neutrally charged last less than that. Neutral pions decay into gamma rays while charged pions tend to decay into muons and muon neutrinos. Pions that are made up one down quark and on anti-up quark are negatively charged. Pions that are made up of one up quark and one anti-down quark are positively charged. Pions that are made up of one up quark and one up anti-quark or one down quark and one down anti-quark are neutrally charged.

Now that that you know some things about subatomic particles what is you favorite subatomic particle?

HTML

HTML type name here:
Do you know how to program?
Yes No
what do yo know:
Python Java Javascript

Comments


I know what you are thinking. How in the world did I do this. Well, I'll tell you. There is something called HTML. HTML is a programming language that allows you to make websites. To make a paragraph you do <p> type anything you want </p>. To do a ordered list you do:

    <ol>

    <p> type anything </p>

    <p> type anything </p>

    <p> type anything </p>

    <ol>

Next we'll talk about radio buttons but first I need to show you one

Example

to do one you do

    <form>

    <imput name="anything" type="radio" value="anything">Example

    </form>

Also to do a text area you do:

    <br/>

    <textarea></textarea>

It should turn up like this:


To do checkboxes you do:

    <form>

    <input type="checkbox" name="anything" value="anything">Example

    </form>

It should turn up like this:

Example

Last but not least this is how you do a name box:

    <form>

    <input name="anything" type="text" value="what you want to say in the box">

    </form>

to get

I know I explained a lot but there's still a lot more like: emphasize.

The Solar System

On West Sagittarius arm of the Milky Way Galaxy, there is our Solar System. In that solar system there are 8 planets, 4 dwarf planets, 1 comet, and thousands of asteroids.


The planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars (the inner planets), Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The definition of a dwarf planet is a planetary-mass object that is object that is neither                  
a planet nor a satellite (the wikipedia definition). The dwarf planets are Pluto,  Eris, Haumea (egg planet), and Makemake. In the farthest reaches  of the Solar System, there is the Kuiper Belt, which is a belt of asteroids just past Pluto and Eris. The comet is Halley's Comet.  A comet is big ball of ice and dust that orbits a star. The sun is so big it takes up 99.98% of  the mass in the solar system. My favorite planet is Uranus because it's sideways. Instead of spinning on a top and bottom axis, it spins on a horizontal axis. 

What's your favorite planet?

Elements That I Like


  Who likes science? I love science and I've got a science
room! There's a periodic table with all of the elements. I also have an atom poster, and paintings of planets and the Milky Way galaxy. My favorite element of the periotic table is UUO: the element not yet discovered. Each element has an atomic number, like Hydrogen is 1. And Helium is 2. Scientist think if there's an element matching each atomic number from 1-105, then there is probably an element matching 118, which is UUO. So UUO (ununoctium) is a estimate.  What's your favorite element of the Periodic Table?
