Hydrogen atom (non relativistic) hydrogen atom was solved for the first time within Feynman's path integral formulation of quantum mechanics. This work greatly extended the range of applicability of Feynman's method. Hydrogen atom A hydrogen atom is an atom of the chemical element hydrogen. The electrically neutral atom contains a single positively charged proton and a single negatively charged electron bound to the nucleus by the Coulomb force. Atomic hydrogen constitutes about 75% of the baryonic mass of the universe. In everyday life on Earth, isolated hydrogen atoms (called "atomic hydrogen") are extremely rare. Instead, hydrogen tends to combine with other atoms
A Is for Atom A Is for Atom A Is for Atom is a 14-minute 1953 promotional animated short documentary film created by John Sutherland and sponsored by General Electric (GE). It is now in the public domain. The short explains what an atom is, how nuclear energy is released from certain kinds of atoms, the peacetime uses of nuclear power, and the by-products of nuclear fission. It is Sutherland's most-decorated film, having won numerous honors at film festivals. "A is for Atom" was re-released by General Electric in 1964. John Sutherland Studios was contracted by GE to modernize the film. Changes include included
