Hmm.. I feel crazy but... is that how atom nucleus' work??? Why does the charge completely "exit" the atom? WTF?

- VectorLock 8y agoThe charge creates a field.
- lilgreenland 8y agoMy Coulomb's law simulation is classical only, no quantum physics. I hope it has some value in showing emergent phenomena. Electrons can just leave the atom, this is how static electricity works.
- Exuma 8y agoSomething so obvious I guess I never realized. So when electricity moves, the nucleus stays still, and the electrons are what move?
- lilgreenland 8y agoHey my sims worked! You got it, although I'd add in that only the free electrons can move around like the ones in the outer valence of metals.
- Exuma 8y agoDamn, well... thats really wild. I feel stupid now, but yes, that absolutely made it click.
