Deuteron (1461 words) |
 | The fact the deuteron having an electric quadrupolar moment means that the distribution of its structure probability density goes off spherical symmetry which implies that the nuclear potential representative of the forces acting on the two nucleons has not a perfect spherical symmetry. |
| In short, from the orbital model the deuteron central deficiency of charge density derives straightforwardly from the proposed orbital structure of the neutron, considered formed by a core proton and a shell. |
| So, the deuteron central deficiency of charge density rises from the logical separation between the two core protons due to the mutual repulsion of their positive charge, while the negative wrapping shell keeps them bonded. |
| deuteron - definition of deuteron in Encyclopedia (378 words) |
| H) is a stable isotope of hydrogen with a natural abundance of one part in 6500 of hydrogen. |
| The nucleus of deuterium (called a deuteron) has one proton and one neutron, whereas a normal hydrogen nucleus just has one proton. |
| While it is not an element in its own right, it is often given the symbol D. |
