ACSPH026
The nuclear model of the atom describes the atom as consisting of an extremely small nucleus, which contains most of the atom’s mass and is made up of positively charged protons and uncharged neutrons surrounded by negatively charged electrons
ACSPH026 | Content Descriptions | Unit 1 | Physics | Science | Senior secondary curriculum
ACSPH141
The Standard Model is based on the premise that all matter in the universe is made up from elementary matter particles called quarks and leptons; quarks experience the strong force, leptons do not
