Re: [mukto-mona] Aparthib's quantum analogy and racial discrimination.
"Electrons in their atomic orbits do move with speed close to that of light. It has to move with that speed to counter-balance strong nuclear force."--------Dr Jiten Roy
JitenDa Are you sure? Or you are guessing! Nuclear forces are short-range forces. Moreover, electrons are not nuclear particles. How can they experience nuclear force? Do nuclear particles really exert any nuclear force on the electrons? It is the nuclear protons with positive charge that exert electrostatic attractive force (relatively longer range force) on negatively charged electrons. And this attractive electrostatic force keeps electrons revolving around the nucleus. Compare this with the attractive gravitational force that keeps the earth revolving around the sun. Please correct me if I am wrong. With regards. ------Subimal
