Which particle has the greatest chance of overcoming the electrostatic forces surrounding the nucleus of an atom?
Neutron
What does electrostatic force do inside the nucleus?
It causes the protons in the nucleus repel each other.
Are electrostatic forces contact forces?
no because their atoms do not touch
What are three examples of distant forces?
Gravity, magnetism, and electrostatic.
What force include attractive and repulsive interactions?
Electrostatic forces
What make a nucleus a stable?
A nucleus is stable if the electrostatic and strong nuclear forces balance out.
What would cause a nucleus to be?
An imbalance between the electrostatic and strong nuclear forces
What universal force acts on protons and neutrons in an atoms nucleus?
electrostatic forces
Which particle has the greatest chance of overcoming the electrostatic forces surrounding the nucleus of an atom?
Neutron
What does electrostatic force do inside the nucleus?
It causes the protons in the nucleus repel each other.
What is the effect of the electrostatic forces inside the nucleus?
protons and neutrons repel each other. The protons in the nucleus repel each other...APEX
Which best describes the forces in the nucleus of a stable atom?
The strong nuclear force balances out the electrostatic force.
What keeps electrons in the space around a nucleus?
The electrostatic forces between the protons and the electrons keep it in orbit.
What makes nucleus stable?
The strong nuclear force must balance electrostatic forces in the nucleus
What universal forces hold the atom together?
Electrostatic force of attraction between the positively charged nucleus and the negatively charged electrons revolving around it.
What is the role of electrical forces in nuclear fission?
In the nucleus the forces between nucleons (protons and neutrons) are determined by the strong nuclear force which only operates at very short range but is much stronger than the electrostatic force which would otherwise repel protons from each other. Neutrons entering the nucleus and causing fission are not charged and therefore not affected by electrostatic charges. The electrons around the nucleus play no part in fission. So electrical forces are not relevant to causing or maintaining fission.
What is the two type of forces that act between atoms?
The forces are the electrostatic forces of attraction between the nucleus of one atom and the electrons of the other atom.
