Calcium-48 is used to produce heavy elements. A research facility uses a particle accelerator that can accelerate a proton to 50 MeV to fire a beam of calcium ions at a target. The ion source uses an electric field to strip the valence electrons from the calcium atoms. What charge does this leave the calcium ions with? How much kinetic energy does each ion get from the accelerator? What is the velocity of the ions in the beam? What is the heaviest stable isotope that the ions in the beam could fuse with?

Atomic Number

Elements are the building blocks of all the matter that exist in the universe. Every element is made up of atoms that have protons, electrons, and a nucleus. In order to know the difference between the elements, an atomic number is used. Every element has its own individual atomic number. The atomic number is a single most important characteristic of an atom.
