Who says they don't?

I can't resist the urge to quote "The Hitchhikers Guide" saying space is REALLY big... electrons are tiny compared to the "empty" space in atoms and molecules. There's a low probability that two will intersect.

When electrons of atoms collide what electrons interact?

Good question! I just wish I knew the answer...


Can free electrons collide with atoms?

Yes, free electrons can collide with atoms. When a free electron collides with an atom, it can transfer energy to the atom, which may result in ionization or excitation of the atom. These collisions play a significant role in processes like electrical conduction and plasma interactions.


When a neutron star is formed what particle is produced by the combining of the protons and electrons?

When a neutron star is formed, protons and electrons are crushed, they collide and become neutrons.


How are Ac and DC different in terms of the flow of electrons?

With dc the electrons flow in one direction steadily, but in ac the electrons change directions 50 or 60 times every second. 50 in Europe, 60 in America.


When atoms collide why do they transfer electrons?

While protons are located in the nucleus, the electrons are located in the outer shell of an atom. Therefore, the pull on the electron by the nucleus is weaker allowing them to move towards other atoms.


Electric current in which electrons repeatedly change direction?

AC


While revolving around neucles why electrons do not collide?

Electrons do not collide with the nucleus because they are in constant motion and are held in orbit by the electromagnetic attraction between the negatively charged electrons and the positively charged nucleus. Additionally, electrons have wave-like properties that spread them out in space, preventing them from occupying the same place at the same time, thus reducing the chance of collision.


Why electron travel through the vacuum and not travel through the air?

Electrons can travel through a vacuum because there are no atoms or molecules to collide with, allowing them to move freely. In air, electrons collide with the molecules present, which disrupts their movement and prevents them from traveling efficiently.


What are the similarities in AC and DC?

Both AC and DC are current methods in which electrons move along a wire


Do streams of protons and electrons cause the Aurora Borealis?

Yes, streams of protons and electrons from the sun interact with Earth's magnetic field to create the Aurora Borealis. When these charged particles collide with atoms in the Earth's atmosphere, they produce colorful light displays in the polar regions.


Can electrons collide with each other?

Yes, electrons can collide with each other due to their charge. When two electrons come too close, they can repel each other because they have the same charge. These collisions can affect the behavior and properties of materials in various ways.


What is after lightning?

when lightning strikes it splits the electrons in the atmosphere in 2. They automaticly atract and when they collide to form back into a electron it creates thunder.
