Thanks again

I have just realize that this sort of thread has been done to death and I am sorry about that

Yer that is probably where my thinking is hugely wrong, that I can't stop thinking that an electron is not a billiard ball like object. What I would really like to know is what forces (if any) would stop it when it gets close?

I didn't realize that it could pass through the nucleus thanks

1) Yer sorry i was just meaning shooting an electron so it hits the nucleus sort of at the centre of a face (I realize it wouldn't be that accurate) 2) Yer I get you point but I was just trying to get at what would stop it

//// That is what I don't really understand why wouldn't there be direct contact.

I am just a tiny bit confused at what would happen if you shot an electron directly at an ion's (with no electrons like deutrium 2+...) nucleus? would it stop and if so why?
