Botulinum and Hydrogen Atom

Botulinum

➖ Botulinum is a natural toxin produced by a bacteria known as Clostridium botulin.

➖ It produces the toxin when it starts reproducing.

➖ Botulinum affects both humans and animals but the type of the toxin varies — botulinum C in birds and A, B and E in humans.

➖ The toxin has been recognised as a major cause of mortality in wild birds since the 1900s.

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.
