Wow.

First post I have seen from you in a while.

Yeah. I lurk about once - twice a week and stuff.

Intermolecular forces, such as hydrogen bonds and dispersion force.

first of all i need to clear that there is not a great distance between the core of the atom(contains neutron and protrons) and electrons. personally i think pirate is right about the fact that there is a magnitic force between them. and the two opposite force had been attracting each other. and if we lost one protron or a electron. the atom crunble and breaks down and release energy. (check up for something on wikipedia about fission)

You are full of shit, just so you know. There is a huge distance between a proton and an electron, at least realatively.
This isn't something you can really debate, chinkie. It's just a fact.

Yeah, I don't know how you got that there was very little relative distance between an atom and an electron.
Unless maybe you looked at those textbook pictures as if they were to scale.


Last I heard, Atoms themselves are held together through Electromagnetic bonds.
As far as how atoms hold each other together, it's basically the same principle, I think, since they are basically sharing electrons.

If the nucleus was the size of a baseball the electron would be a football field length away.

i don't think this has anything to do with magnetism. as far as i remember it is all about the charges of electrons and protons.

Well, they are charged particles, and the opposite charges attract, which is basically magnetism.

i'm saying that although the distance distance between neutron and electrons are far compare to teh size of those little things.. but the power contained in it made it, you know... not much a big deal... and the distance is just enough to hold them together without the electron getting too close...
basicly(i mean difinately...) u are right.. i comfirmed with 3 of my teacher and a few seniors with the risk of getting plunged into the toilet or the locker,just to prove our theory that the atom are hold together by magnetic force between the el3ectrons and protons.

no, magnetism is a totally different force... the concept is the same (opposite 'charges' attracting one another) but atoms are not attracted to one another magnetically.

I don't know how to respond to this aside from saying that you are very annoying. Please do some googling on the topic, if China will let you.

Proving our theory? No, you don't ****ing get it. It's not OURS. It's the theory of every scientist in the world.

Electrons jump around all the time from atom to atom and their atoms do not break down into some massive ball of energy. That only happens when a part of the nucleas is changed.
