Answer» Answer: how was the PRESENCE of the proton detected? Degen's team placed a thin SLICE of the material that CONTAINED hydrogen just above the diamond crystal's surface. When they turned on the magnetic field, they observed that the brightness of the red light changed DUE to a change in magnetic fields. That highlighted the presence of a single proton nearby. what are their characteristics? Protons are found in the nucleus of the atom. This is a tiny, dense REGION at the center of the atom. Protons have a positive electrical charge of one (+1) and a mass of 1 atomic mass unit (amu), which is about 1.67×10−27 kilograms. hope this helps good luck ;-) |
