What is Understanding the Atomic Nucleus about?
The atomic nucleus is a dense region at the center of an atom composed of protons and neutrons, discovered in 1911. It was later determined that the nucleus contains both positively-charged protons and neutral neutrons. The nucleus has a diameter ranging from about 1.75 fm in hydrogen to 11.7 fm in uranium, which is much smaller than the full diameter of the atom. Nuclear physics is the branch of physics concerned with studying the composition and binding forces of the atomic nucleus.
