No Electrons, No Forces: What's the Result?

[dadnaya]

Well, when 2 atoms get close, we don't feel the touch between them but the forces between electrons. So what will happen if there's atom with no electrons, so any other atom with electrons will be able to really "touch" it( because there would be no force between electrons). What will happen then?

What is an atom without electrons?

What is an atom without electrons?

Atom that has no electrons, let's say the H will "give" the 1 he has, will he stay with no electrons I guess?

Charge?

Charge?

Is it possible for an atom to have no electrons?

 

[jim mcnamara]

Yes. Borek wants you to mention ( or look up) "states of matter". There are four. He does not want solid, liquid, or gas, so it must be ______

What would happen if you tried to force two atoms together, each of which was positively charged?

 

[epenguin]

An atom with no electrons is called a 'nucleus'. What can happen when you force two together is a large part of nuclear physics which relieves us here of a duty to respond because this is the wrong forum. :D
One thing I know can happen is they just bounce off each other. If I am not mistaken for more complicated things to happen the collisions have to be at such high energies that it doesn't matter whether the electrons of an atom are there or not. So the question might be put in another forum, but I don't think there is a very brief answer.

So far nobody used word I was hoping for - ion. Ions are charged. Ions made by stripping electrons from the neutral atoms are positive. That points to the simplest possible answer about how they will interact. I doubt OP wanted anything more elaborate.
