General Interest
On the Masses of the Fundamental Particles in the Bound State
R. Subramanium, N. K. Goh, and L. S. Chia
School of Science, National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological University, Republic of Singapore
Cover
July 1996
Vol. 73 No. 7
p. 663
Abstract
A simple computational approach is presented to show that the masses of the fundamental particles are not only lower in the elements but are also different for the various elements. Only basic concepts relating to an atom such as mass number, atomic number, relative isotopic mass, and Avogadro's Number are required. The mass values of the fundamental particles are not needed in the proposed treatment, except for comparison. Some pedagogical elements of interest are also addressed.
