Law Of Conservation Of Mass: Did you know that in water the ratio of the mass of hydrogen to the mass of oxygen is always 1:8? This led to one of the laws of chemical combination, the law of constant ...
Are the fundamental constants really constant? Recent investigations have shown that one essential fundamental constant -- namely the mass ratio of protons to electrons -- can have changed only by a ...
Chlorine naturally exists as two isotopes, \(_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}\) (chlorine-35) and \(_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}\) (chlorine-37). The abundance of chlorine-35 is 75% ...
Conventional neutron numbers are based on the approximations that the mass of the electron is zero and that those of the proton and neutron are each equal to unity. It was shown, by using the exact ...
I was surprised that C&EN would devote two columns to the letter by Harvey Carroll on the matter of atomic weight versus atomic mass (C&EN, Jan. 24, page 4). I realize the majority of the informed ...
