nouna stable particle with positive charge equal to the negative charge of an electrontype of:
Definition that contains proton
- electricity a physical phenomenon associated with stationary or moving electrons and protons
- neutron an elementary particle with 0 charge and mass about equal to a proton; enters into the structure of the atomic nucleus
- mri the use of nuclear magnetic resonance of protons to produce proton density images
- nmr resonance of protons to radiation in a magnetic field
- nucleon number the sum of the number of neutrons and protons in an atomic nucleus
- color force (physics) the interaction that binds protons and neutrons together in the nuclei of atoms; mediated by gluons
- baryon any of the elementary particles having a mass equal to or greater than that of a proton and that participate in strong interactions; a hadron with a baryon number of +1
- qcd a theory of strong interactions between elementary particles (including the interaction that binds protons and neutrons in the nucleus); it assumes that strongly interacting particles (hadrons) are made of quarks and that gluons bind the quarks together
- strong force (physics) the interaction that binds protons and neutrons together in the nuclei of atoms; mediated by gluons
- pauli exclusion principle no two electrons or protons or neutrons in a given system can be in states characterized by the same set of quantum numbers
