A nuclear chain reaction occurs when excess?
When excess electrons collide with other nuclei.
Do gas particles ever touch each other?
No, gas particles can touch each other when they collide.
Electrons behave like what?
Electrons behave like waves and particles this is characterised by the wave side in the Bohr model and can be diffracted yet it will collide with other particles.
When two objects collide they exert forces on each other that change momentum?
Yes, that is correct.
While revolving around neucles why electrons do not collide?
as electrons have same charge ,they repel each other when they come near
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.

How do plate tectonics make underwater volcanoes?
When two tectonic plates collide with each other. If they collide, they usually slide under each other, causing a tsunami. However, If the collide head on, ground is pushed upward, creating a volcano'mountain
