swansont Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 We were discusiing electron orbits We were? The orbital of an electron and proton is well-known. It's hydrogen. So no, if the topic was an electron fitting into a neutron, we weren't talking about an electron orbit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
granpa Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 The electron in a hydrogen atom is bound by the electromagnetic force. The electron and a neutron is bound by the strong force Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swansont Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 The electron in a hydrogen atom is bound by the electromagnetic force. The electron and a neutron is bound by the strong force The electron doesn't interact via the strong force; it's a lepton. If it did, why would protons even exist?

Strange Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Evidently it does interact with the strong force if a neutrino is around Where is this evidence? And neutrinos do not interact with the strong force either. (Being leptons, and all.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
