Interpretation:
In theantiatom of hydrogen, the electrical charges of the proton and electrons are reversed. The difference among the energy levels,
Concept introduction:
An atom consists of a positivelycharged nucleus and negativelycharged electrons revolving around it.
In an antiatom of hydrogen, only electrical charges of the constituent particles (i.e., antiproton and positron) are reversed to that of the hydrogen atom.
These electrons revolve in the orbits called energy levels or energy states.
Annihilation occurs when two particles collide with each other releasing energy.

- What is the charge of the nucleus of element 89?arrow_forwardTrue or false? Rutherford’s bombardment experiments with metal foil suggested that the particles were being deflected by coming near a large, positively charged atomic nucleus.arrow_forwardA B58 atom (mass = 8.0246 amu) decays into B48 atom (mass = 8.0053 amu) by loss of a + panrticle (mass = 0.00055 amu) or by electron capture. How much energy (in millions of electron volts) is produced by this reaction?arrow_forward
