THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD. By Colson Whitehead. 306 pp. Doubleday. $26.95. Colson Whiteheadâs novels are rebellious creatures: Each one of them goes to great lengths to break free of the last one, of its structure and language, of its areas of interest.
Natron is a naturally occurring mixture of sodium carbonate decahydrate (Na 2 C O 3 Â·10H 2 O, a kind of soda ash) and around 17% sodium bicarbonate (also called baking soda, NaHCO 3) along with small quantities of sodium chloride and sodium sulfate.
The antineutron is the antiparticle of the neutron with symbol n. It differs from the neutron only in that some of its properties have equal magnitude but opposite sign. It has the same mass as the neutron, and no net electric charge, but has opposite baryon number (+1 for neutron, â1 for the antineutron). This is because the antineutron is composed of antiquarks, while neutrons are composed of quarks.
