Why are most particle collisions ineffective?

comparing to an atom , the particles of it are very very small , their collision may be effective inside that atom but we could not measure the effectiveness since it takes place for a very very small time (fempto seconds) than the size of electron. Hence we think that the particle collisions are ineffective .


What is the difference between particle size and crystallite size?

crystallite is the average size of the particle whereas the particle size denotes the individual size of the particle.


Who can use a particle size analyzer?

A particle size analyzer should be used by anyone who have read the manuals before going on. The most safe particle size analyzer is laser diffraction particle size analyzer. Even though it works with laser, the power is in mW, no harm to eyes.


What particle or particles are located in the center of an atom?

Basically nucleus is present in the centre of an atom which occupies very little space but it is responsible for most of the mass of atom. Its size can be assumed almost of a cricket ball IF atom is assumed as the stadium. being so small it still has a very complicated structure. It mainly contains 2 fundamental particles neutron - having no charge and mass=1.67493 x 10-27kg and proton having mass=1.67262 x 10-27kg and charge= +1.


The size of atoms has most to do with its?

The size of atoms has most to do with its electrons. The electron is a subatomic particle with a negative elementary electric charge.


How do the mass and size of an alpha particle compare with mass and size of beta particle?

The mass and size of an alpha particle compare with the masa and size of beta particle in the sense that the alpha particle is significantly larger in both size and mass that the beta and gamma particles. This is why it is called the alpha particle.


Were you taught how to operate the particle size analyzer?

Particle size analysis is an incredibly complex scientific task, requiring delicate instruments and intensive training. Most people operating a particle size analyzer have undergone training in order to be able to do so.


What the smallest particle in a atom?

Size on the scale of atoms is very hard to define. The electron has zero mass. Quarks have varying amounts of mass.


Do particles have fixed size?

Particle size depends on the type of particle.


The smallest particle in physics?

That depends. The smallest particle in the classic physics is te atom. In the modern physics is the quark (quark is the composition of an eletron). WHAT IS THE SMALLEST PARTICLE The quark
