A proton magnetic resonance study of polycrystalline Af as a function of magnetic field and temperature is presented.

The charges of the electron and proton are believed to be exactly equal and opposite, but Dr. Lyttleton is not so sure.

Suppose, says Dr. Lyttleton, the proton has a slightly greater charge than the electron ( so slight it is presently immeasurable ).

The Brønsted-Lowry definition is an expansion: an acid is a substance which can act as a proton donor.

A Brønsted-Lowry acid ( or simply Brønsted acid ) is a species that donates a proton to a Brønsted-Lowry base.

This reaction cannot be described in terms of Brønsted theory because there is no proton transfer.

The Brønsted-Lowry definition is the most widely used definition ; unless otherwise specified acid-base reactions are assumed to involve the transfer of a proton ( H < sup >+</ sup >) from an acid to a base.

In chemistry and physics, the atomic number ( also known as the proton number ) is the number of protons found in the nucleus of an atom and therefore identical to the charge number of the nucleus.

This placement is consistent with the modern practice of ordering the elements by proton number, Z, but this number was not known or suspected at the time.

Over 99. 94 % of an atom's mass is concentrated in the nucleus ,< ref group = note > In the case of hydrogen-1, with a single electron and nucleon, the proton is, or 99. 95 % of the total atomic mass.

A proton is made up of quarks, so an antiproton must therefore be formed from antiquarks.

It is primarily for this reason that the histamine H2 antagonists including cimetidine ( Tagamet ), famotidine ( Pepcid ), and ranitidine ( Zantac ), and the proton pump inhibitor ( PPI ) omeprazole ( Prilosec ) were made OTC.

The universal aqueous acid – base definition of the Arrhenius concept is described as the formation of water from a proton and hydroxide ions, or hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions from the dissociation of an acid and base in aqueous solution:

The energy released from transferring the electrons from high-energy states in NADH and quinol is conserved first as proton gradient and converted to ATP via ATP synthase.

For example, a proton is made of two up quarks and one down quark ; and its corresponding antiparticle, the antiproton, is made of two up antiquarks and one down antiquark.

Combustion of hydrocarbons is thought to be initiated by hydrogen atom abstraction ( not proton abstraction ) from the fuel to oxygen, to give a hydroperoxide radical ( HOO ).

In general, it differs in value when expressed in u for a given nuclide ( or isotope ) slightly from the mass number, since the mass of the protons and neutrons is not exactly 1 u, the electrons contribute a lesser share to the atomic mass as neutron number exceeds proton number, and ( finally ) because of the nuclear binding energy.

The CNO cycle ( for carbon – nitrogen – oxygen ) is one of two sets of fusion reactions by which stars convert hydrogen to helium, the other being the proton – proton chain.

Unlike the proton – proton chain reaction, the CNO cycle is a catalytic cycle.

In redox reactions, the transferred particle is an electron, whereas in acid-base reactions it is a proton.

In the acetalisation reaction, under acidic or basic conditions, an alcohol adds to the carbonyl group and a proton is transferred to form a hemiacetal.

In alkylimino-de-oxo-bisubstitution, a primary or secondary amine adds to the carbonyl group and a proton is transferred from the nitrogen to the oxygen atom to create a carbinolamine.

The acid loses a proton, leaving a conjugate base ; the proton is transferred to the base, creating a conjugate acid.

As shown below, the resulting carbocation is then attacked by water, a proton is then transferred from the hydroxy oxygen to the ether oxygen, and finally the ion falls apart into phenol and acetone.

The extreme acidity of the acids is due to the ease with which this proton is transferred to substances that cannot normally be " protonated " ( such as hydrocarbons ), due to the very high stability of the conjugate-base anion ( such as ) after it donates the proton.

The 50 MeV proton linear accelerator was transferred from the Atomic Energy Research Establishment to the new laboratory to become a national facility for particle physics as the Nimrod ( synchrotron ).

When an ortho-H < sub > 3 </ sub >< sup >+</ sup > and a para-H < sub > 2 </ sub > collide, the transferred proton changes the total spins of the molecules, yielding instead a para-H < sub > 3 </ sub >< sup >+</ sup > and an ortho-H < sub > 2 </ sub >.

The treatment of ulcers resulting from excessive acidity may require H2-receptor antagonists or proton pump inhibitors, and eradication of H. pylori.

a proton may hop from one molecule of acetic acid on to a water molecule and then on to an acetate anion to form another molecule of acetic acid and leaving the number of acetic acid molecules unchanged.

Condensation of water produced by a PEMFC on the air channel wall.

They would also cause extremely rapid proton decay ( far below current experimental limits ) and prevent the gauge coupling strengths from running together in the renormalization group.

The lysosome maintains this pH differential by pumping protons ( H < sup >+</ sup > ions ) from the cytosol across the membrane via proton pumps and chloride ion channels.

Yukawa called his carrier particle the meson, from mesos, the Greek word for intermediate, because its predicted mass was between that of the electron and that of the proton, which has about 1, 836 times the mass of the electron.

Because the muon is a lepton, the atomic energy levels of muonium can be calculated with great precision from quantum electrodynamics ( QED ), unlike the case of hydrogen, where the precision is limited by uncertainies related to the internal structure of the proton.

The smallest of these fragments in ternary processes ranges in size from a proton to an argon nucleus.

The unpredictable composition of the products ( which vary in a broad probabilistic and somewhat chaotic manner ) distinguishes fission from purely quantum-tunnelling processes such as proton emission, alpha decay and cluster decay, which give the same products each time.

In anywhere from 2 to 4 fissions per 1000 in a nuclear reactor, a process called ternary fission produces three positively charged fragments ( plus neutrons ) and the smallest of these may range from so small a charge and mass as a proton ( Z = 1 ), to as large a fragment as argon ( Z = 18 ).

The elimination half-life of proton pump inhibitors ranges from 0. 5 – 2 hours, however the effect of a single dose on acid secretion usually persists up to 2 – 3 days.

In the story, the Sun is hit by a stray proton missile from a nearby battle between forces of the Galman Empire and Bolar Federation.

Transport of protons from the cytosol to the vacuole stabilizes cytoplasmic pH, while making the vacuolar interior more acidic creating a proton motive force which the cell can use to transport nutrients into or out of the vacuole.

Only 90 nuclides from the first 40 elements are energetically stable to any kind of decay save proton decay, in theory ( see list of nuclides ).
