swansont Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 We were discusiing electron orbits We were? The orbital of an electron and proton is well-known. It's hydrogen. So no, if the topic was an electron fitting into a neutron, we weren't talking about an electron orbit.

swansont Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 The electron in a hydrogen atom is bound by the electromagnetic force. The electron and a neutron is bound by the strong force The electron doesn't interact via the strong force; it's a lepton. If it did, why would protons even exist?
granpa Posted July 2, 2016 Author Posted July 2, 2016 Evidently it does interact with the strong force if a neutrino is around
Strange Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 Evidently it does interact with the strong force if a neutrino is around Where is this evidence? And neutrinos do not interact with the strong force either. (Being leptons, and all.)
