The nature an electron, its position and energy, is fully implied only mentioning the value of four quantum nembers ascribed to it. Each electron is, therefore, fully characterized by a set of four quantum numbers 'n'- giving the size of electron orbital, I- its shape, and m- th…

Most comercial power plants today are ' light-water reactor'. In this type of reactor, U-235 fuel rods are submerged in water. Here, water acts as coolant and moderator. The control rods of boron-10 are inserted or removed automatically from spaces in between the fuel rods. The h…

In a chemical reaction there is merely a rearrangement of extra nuclear electrons. The atomic nuclears remains intact. A nuclear reactor involves a charge in the composition of the nuclears. The number of protons and neutrons in the nuclears is altered. The product is a new nucleus of ano…

Wave Machanical Concept of Atom  Bohr, undoubtedly, gave the first quantitative successful model of the atom. But now it has been superseded completely by the modern   Wave Mechanical Theory. The new theory rejectets the view that electrons movie in closed orbits, as was visualized by B…

Rutherford model laid the foundation of the model picture of the atom. However it did not tell anything as to the position of the electrons and how they were arranged around the nuclears. Rutherford recognised that electrons were orbiting around the nuclears. But according to the classic…
