I believe that if the nucleus was a pea on home plate in a baseball stadium, the innermost electron cloud would be at the top of the light posts.#17i remember watching a video do that (the one it mentions on the site might be the video i saw in physics class, my favorite class)
that shows me just how beautiful our galaxy is and how powerful the God i serve is that He created it all with just the sound of His voice...everything from the huge solar systems to the tiny electrons
speaking of electrons...i remember an illustration that if you had a perfect scale model of an electron and nucleus 'lifesize' (no pun intended) that the space between the electron and nucleus would be miles apart...can someone give me more specifics on this? (i really need a refresher on my physics)
pupikI thought I saw this before...

jpmontoyaDoh!
I did search for the link though (well, the last word of it, which is common to both links) but it seems html links are excluded from searches, and I joined in November 2003.![]()
Solid LiftersI always wondered, what force is keeping the electron orbiting around the neutrons and protons? Is it gravity? Electromagnetism? I guess I should do a search.
So the same force, that keeps the neutrons and protons together to form the nucleus, is causing the electrons to orbit? The Nuclear Force is very busy and powerful.BlazinXtremeNuclear force if I'm not mistaken. I had my chem class a while ago and I don't need to know this stuff working at GM.
Anyways, cool little video thing.

Integra Type RBlazinXtreme, you are correct. It is the "strong nuclear force" that holds it all together.
