    The electron has a mass. It is also approximate like the radius.

    Why does the atom not fold onto itsef?

    The electron has a wave function associated with it. The wave is in the area you would normally find an electron. There is also a probability that the electron is in the nucleus at any point in time due to part of the wave function being in the nucleus. According to the uncertainty...

    De broglie wavelength for ordinary objects.

    Hello there, If an object has a mass of 1 in arbitary units, and it's velocity is zero relative to you, what is the de Broglie wavelength? Shouldn't p be zero in this case? Or am I missing something related to intrinsic energy and momentum? Thank you very much.

    Re: How frequency is affected in a metal rod

    I understand that the frequency of the sound produced when hitting a metal rod will change as you hold different parts of the rod to increase or decrease the length of it. However, what puzzles me is whether the frequency will change if you keep the position of your hand constant while hitting...

    Cuurent statuses of theories of gravity

    Newton's law of gravitation is basically a simplified form of einstein's theory of general relativity. It does not account for frame dragging and all that fancy relativistic stuff but it is sufficient to explain gravitational interactions to a high degree of accuracy.

    Why Do My Amphoteric Equations Keep Going Wrong?

    I think what the test is looking for is for the neutralisation reaction between an acid and alkali. It would be better to phrase it such that it shows the ion reacting with a hydroxide ion for the acidic property and the basic ion for the basic property. Both of your equations also have the...
