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.
