Yeah Rose!
There is yet hope.
How about making me happy and killing this thread.
Surely it has nothing, zero, nada, zilch to do with origins.
And you've got to know, as I've already stated it multiple times ... that I am trying to get the three of you that "moderate" this place to do just that.
Oh well back on the soap box:
http://www.schoolscience.co.uk/content/4/physics/atoms/partch2pg3x.html Please note the following quote from the above reference:
"The number of protons in a nucleus is the same for all the atoms of a particular element. It corresponds to the atomic number, Z, of that element. For example, if a nucleus contains 3 protons, then its atom must be lithium (atomic number 3)."
That's it.
That's fact.
Anything else is treading a fine line between inane and insane and in either case doesn't belong here.
And another reference on the subject:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_lithium And just to finish off this circus ... Protobon wrote the following:
"7.42% of Lithium has 2 protons and 92.58% of Lithium has 3 protons"
And a quick check at:
http://www.goodfellow.com/csp/active/gfMaterialInfo.csp?MATID=LI00&form=All Clearly shows that 7.5% of lithium is Lithium 6 which is three protons and three neutons whereas 92.5% of lithium is Lithium 7 containing three protons and four neutrons.
So much for the elementary school math lesson. It appears Protobon can't tell the difference between a proton and a neutron, can't count, and doesn't care about either.
So what you gonna do Rose? I suggest living on your feet. Kill this thread!
