Niels Bohr word list, defined
- ATOM /ˈætəm/ · noun
- The smallest unit of an element that retains the chemical properties of that element, consisting of a nucleus of protons and neutrons orbited by electrons. More broadly, the tiniest conceivable particle or amount of something. Related: particle, molecule, unit, speck.
- QUANTUM /kwɒntəm/ · noun
- A quantum is a discrete amount of energy or matter, or a minimum amount of something that must be present for a particular phenomenon to occur. In physics, it is a fundamental unit of energy or matter that cannot be divided into smaller parts. Related: amount, quantity, magnitude, degree.
- ELECTRON /ɪˈlɛktrɒn/ · noun
- A stable subatomic particle with a negative electric charge, found in all atoms and moving around the nucleus. Electrons are the primary carriers of electricity in solids and are responsible for chemical bonding. Related: negatron, subatomic particle, charged particle, beta particle.
- ORBIT /ˈɔːrbɪt/ · noun, verb
- A path or trajectory that an object or spacecraft follows as it revolves around a celestial body, such as a planet or moon. To move in a curved path around a central point, especially in a stable or regular manner. Related: path, trajectory, revolution, rotation.
- NUCLEUS /ˈnjuːkliːəs/ · noun
- The central or most important part of something; the core or essence of something. In biology, the nucleus is the control center of a cell. Related: core, center, essence, heart.
- PHYSICS /fɪzɪks/ · noun
- The scientific study of the natural world around us, including the laws of motion, energy, and matter. It involves the study of the physical universe from the smallest subatomic particles to the entire cosmos. Related: science, natural philosophy, mechanics, astronomy.
- HYDROGEN /ˈhaɪdrədʒən/ · noun
- A colourless, odourless, tasteless, highly flammable gaseous element that is the lightest of all elements and the most abundant in the universe. Related: gas, element, fuel.
- SPECTRUM /ˈspekt.rəm/ · noun
- A range of colours or a series of frequencies, especially of light or sound. A range of something, such as opinions or abilities. Related: range, series, band, scale.
- ENERGY /ˈɛnərdʒi/ · noun
- The strength and vitality required for sustained physical or mental activity; in physics, the property of matter and radiation that is manifest as a capacity to perform work (such as causing motion or the interaction of molecules). Related: vigor, vitality, stamina, dynamism.
- PROTON /ˈproʊtɑːn/ · noun
- A subatomic particle that has a positive charge and is found in the nucleus of an atom. It is one of the three main components of an atom, along with neutrons and electrons. Related: ion, particle, subatomic particle, nucleon.
