  2. Ice-nine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice-nine

    Ice-nine is a fictional material that appears in Kurt Vonnegut 's 1963 novel Cat's Cradle. Ice-nine is described as a polymorph of ice which instead of melting at 0 °C (32 °F), melts at 45.8 °C (114.4 °F). When ice-nine comes into contact with liquid water below 45.8 °C, it acts as a seed crystal and causes the solidification of the entire ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(charge)

    The elementary charge e, i.e. the negative charge on a single electron or the positive charge on a single proton: 10 −18: atto-(aC) ~ 1.8755 × 10 −18 C: Planck charge: 10 −17: 1.473 × 10 −17 C (92 e) – Positive charge on a uranium nucleus (derived: 92 x 1.602 × 10 −19 C) 10 −16: 1.344 × 10 −16 C: Charge on a dust particle in ...

  4. Electric charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_charge

    Electric charge is a conserved property: the net charge of an isolated system, the quantity of positive charge minus the amount of negative charge, cannot change. Electric charge is carried by subatomic particles. In ordinary matter, negative charge is carried by electrons, and positive charge is carried by the protons in the nuclei of atoms.

    The affected person tends to go insane long before their demise. The suggested treatment is a remote link to the hologram disk projection system, a detachable power transfer adapter capable of holding spikes of up to five million volts, and a B47/7RF resistor.

  6. Charge radius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge_radius

    The rms charge radius is a measure of the size of an atomic nucleus, particularly the proton distribution. The proton radius is about one femtometre = 10−15 metre. It can be measured by the scattering of electrons by the nucleus. Relative changes in the mean squared nuclear charge distribution can be precisely measured with atomic spectroscopy .

  7. Negative number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_number

    Negative number. This thermometer is indicating a negative Fahrenheit temperature (−4 °F). In mathematics, a negative number represents an opposite. [1] In the real number system, a negative number is a number that is less than zero. Negative numbers are often used to represent the magnitude of a loss or deficiency.

  8. CHARGE syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CHARGE_syndrome

    CHARGE syndrome (formerly known as CHARGE association) is a rare syndrome caused by a genetic disorder. First described in 1979, the acronym "CHARGE" came into use for newborn children with the congenital features of c oloboma of the eye, h eart defects , a tresia of the nasal choanae , r estricted growth and/or development , g enital and/or ...

  9. Charge number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge_number

    Charge number ( z) refers to a quantized value of electric charge, with the quantum of electric charge being the elementary charge, so that the charge number equals the electric charge ( q) in coulombs divided by the elementary-charge constant ( e ), or z = q / e. The charge numbers for ions (and also subatomic particles) are written in ...
