Orbital movements where?SLSPS said:orbital movements
What orbital bands?SLSPS said:changing orbital bands
cBvU said:All kinds of things. What is this about ?
About changing permitted to prohibited bands. The valence and conduction bands. What I really wanted to know was whether the proton could play the role of the electron in that sense. If it would be possible.BvU said:All kinds of things. What is this about ?
Electrons do not feel the strong nuclear force so you could not create a nucleus.SLSPS said:GOT IT. EVEN THINKING ABOUT A CRAZY HYPOTHETICAL SITUATION: IMAGINE AN ATOM IN WHICH WHO WOULD BE ATTACHED TO THE NUCLEUS WOULD BE THE ELECTRON AND WHO WOULD BE ORBITING ARE THE PROTONS. COULD ALL PHENOMENA OF CHANGING ORBITS THROUGH GAIN OR LOSS OF ENERGY, OR EVEN THE "ELECTRIC" PHOTO EFFECT OCCUR IN PROTON?

What valence and conduction bands are you talking about? Protons are in the nucleus. There are no valence and conduction bands in the nucleus.SLSPS said:About changing permitted to prohibited bands. The valence and conduction bands.
The movement of protons between orbital bands in the nucleus is a complex process that is governed by the laws of quantum mechanics. Protons can move between orbital bands through a process called quantum tunneling, where they can pass through energy barriers that would normally prevent their movement.
Protons move between orbital bands in the nucleus to achieve a more stable and lower energy state. This movement is necessary to maintain the overall balance of positive charge in the nucleus and to minimize the repulsion between protons.
The movement of protons between orbital bands is influenced by several factors, including the size and shape of the nucleus, the number of protons and neutrons present, and the energy levels of the orbital bands. Additionally, the presence of other particles, such as electrons, can also affect the movement of protons.
No, protons can only move between orbital bands in the nucleus when they have enough energy to overcome the energy barriers that separate the bands. This energy can be provided by various sources, such as radioactive decay or high-energy collisions.
The movement of protons between orbital bands in the nucleus can have significant consequences on the stability and properties of an atom. It can affect the element's atomic mass and isotopic composition, as well as its reactivity and chemical properties. In extreme cases, it can even lead to the formation of new elements through nuclear reactions.
