Atomic Structure

[Nave]

I was wondering if anybody had any good sites or really good sites that could help me out with atomic structures.

Thanks

I wonder if Nave also meant nuclear forces and other wacky stuff in the nucleus. In that case... err, ask it in the physics sub-forum. )

well nave we really need a bit more detail, there are many websites explaining:

 

simple proton, neutron, electron

^ + forces between em

^ + advance physics for those particles

proton, neutron, electron + quarks

^ + forces between em

^ + advance physics for those particles

proton, neutron, electron, quarks + everything you could possibly want to know

those which specialise in certain atomic or sub-atomic particles.

 

it comes down to the 'be more specific' advice i am giving you know, i think you get the point!

I'll just give you some warning: The more in-detail you get with subatomic particles, the more it can get incredibly 'out there' and really mess with your mind. (That whole dual particle-wave thing still makes my brain go crazy. )

i personally found the wave particle thing quite easy to get... although remembering details on all the sub atomic particles can get quite hard.

[jdurg]

The wave particle nature was easy for me to get as well, it's just that it always seemed so contradictory to me that an electron is both a particle AND a wave at the same time.

a dolphin is a particle and moves in wave shapes....

 

wow, thats abstract but you see what i mean?

(dolphin as a particle jumping in/out of water)

[jdurg]

Yeah, but when the dolphin is moving in a wave pattern, is he without mass?

[5614]

the dolphin has mass just as your electron does... here comes the photon!!!! you can visualise something without mass, well ya can just dont ask questions like that!

nvm guy thanks though i found what i was looking for
