Weakest strength, long distance, attractive
Gravitational Force
Strong force, long distance, is attractive or repulsive
Electromagnetic Force
Strong force, shortest distance, repulsive
Weak Nuclear Force
Strongest strength, short distance, attractive
Strong Nuclear Force
Why is gravity not a very important force for the atom?
It's a weak force, reaquires a lot of mass. Atoms don't have much mass.
What is important to atom because it holds electrons in the atom?
Electromagnetic Force
What is involved in radioactive decay, and beta decay?
Weak Nuclear Force
What holds protons and neutrons together in the nucleus?
Strong Nuclear Force
2 protons, 2 neutrons composition, +2 charge, least penetrating power.
Alpha 42α
1 electron, -1 charge composition, medium penetrating power
Beta 0 -1 β
Electromagnetic radiation, 0 charge, most penetrating power
Gamma γ
What particle in the nucleus helps it to remain stable?
Nuetrons
What force helps the nucles to remain stable?
Strong Nuclear Force
How is distance involved in making strong nuclear force work?
Has to have a short distance
How is the amount of binding energy per nucleon related to the stability of the nucleus?
More energy per nucleon, the more stable the nucleus is.
