Can an electron (from outside the atom) collide with the nucleus of an atom, and does this happen at normal energy levels? What usually happens when it does?
If it doesn't happen is it because the electrons of the atom repel the incoming electron with their charge.
Finally same question, but this time its a photon colliding with the nucleus, does this change anything, and what is the result and why?
Thanks!
