The most stable arrangements is achieved by a certain kind of elements, the noble gases (like Hellium, or Argon, just to name two such noble gases). PET highlights areas in the body where there is relatively high glucose use, which is characteristic of cancerous tissue. A famous example is that the proton size effectively grows (not a lot) as you increase the energy of the particles that you are scattering off of it.

Maybe all the baggage carried along with the word, “particle” is an obstacle to a deeper understanding. So, just like Prof Strassler described, chemistry is all about the behaviour of the valence electrons (and all electrons behave according to quantum mechanics). It answers the first question (the atom is filled with the orbitals) and it answers the second (the lowest orbital is centered on the nucleus, and the other ones can’t get lower because of the Pauli exclusion principle). that concluded that perhaps touch was just being close enough to interact, and from this article I gather you suggest that the size of an object is the area of space that other particles will interact with it, bouncing off but possibly also including other interactions like scattering or fusing?Even though electrons are point-like in one sense (for instance, if you try to bounce two electrons off each other, you will find you can get them arbitrarily close together without them revealing that they have any structure), there is a way in which, when left alone, they can spread out like a wave, and fill out the entire grey area in Figure 2. All we can do is look to see if the size can be measured; if we can’t observe any effects of a finite size, we know the object is smaller than we can measure with that particular experiment. Then the size of a proton would be given by the scale at which particles stopped scattering off the ‘proton’ and began to interact with the individual quarks within it? A radioactive isotope is an isotope whose nucleus readily decays, giving off subatomic particles and electromagnetic energy.

For this reason I think the picture of the atom as empty space with tiny electrons is not really helpful.Professor Strassler’s above post gingerly leans toward being an exception, but the hesitancy speaks volumes. Magnesium’s 12 electrons are distributed as follows: two in the first shell, eight in the second shell, and two in its valence shell.
