Electrons entering the area Atom's nucleus

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the concept of artificially forcing electron particle waves into an atom's nucleus, questioning whether this process can increase the number of electrons an atom can hold. It highlights that certain atoms can exist as negatively charged ions, such as Cl- and S2-, which may imply a capacity for additional electrons. However, the feasibility and implications of this concept remain unclear, as participants express confusion over the scientific validity of such methods.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of atomic structure and electron configuration
  • Familiarity with concepts of ionization and negatively charged ions
  • Basic knowledge of quantum mechanics and particle physics
  • Awareness of neutron stars and their properties
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the principles of electron configuration in atoms
  • Explore the concept of ionization and how atoms can gain or lose electrons
  • Study quantum mechanics related to particle-wave duality
  • Investigate the properties and formation of neutron stars
USEFUL FOR

Students of physics, researchers in atomic theory, and anyone interested in advanced concepts of electron behavior and atomic structure.

A while back I recall reading an article regarding artificially forcing electron particle waves into the surrounding nucleus of an Atom and that the result would shrink the size of the atom. Can an Atom hold more than the normal amount of electrons, if so is there a maximum?

Define "normal amount of electrons".

Some atoms can exist as negatively charged ions (like Cl-, S2-) - do they qualify?

But in general I have no idea what you writing about,

doesn't make sense to me.

Google "neutron star".
