... not QM stuff. //www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyvfDzRLsiU
Quote from: jccc... not QM stuff. //www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyvfDzRLsiUInteresting link, but it might be better to stick to the QM stuff to answer the OP's question.
If the electron is uniformly distributed around the nucleus, the force balances out. In this sense "orbit" is somewhat of an accurate analogy. What "force" keeps the moon away from the Earth?
Imagine for a moment that a proton is a ball the size of a grain of sand, and the electron is a cloud the size of a zeppelin. They are both charged to the same magnitude but with opposite charge. The proton's charge is highly localized, the electron's is diffuse but somewhat "squishy." They will be attracted to each other, and eventually the two will have the exact same center. The electron cloud totally surrounds the nuclear grain and is so symmetrically distributed that every pull on one end of the cloud is exactly counteracted by the identical pull of the nucleus on the other end (both are pulled toward the nucleus, but the force is equal and opposite in Cartesian coordinates)Any attempt to move the electron's center away from the proton's center will be opposed by the electrostatic attraction, but the two literally can't get any closer to each other, so they don't.You may ask what is the "pressure" that keeps the electron inflated/keeps the cloud from collapsing down to a point the size of the proton. That has already been explained on this thread. Near the beginning. This is one of the many hideous faces of uncertainty. If the proton were somehow able to constrain the electron to a smaller volume, the electron's velocity would be more variable, and it would ultimately go fast enough to return to a larger area of occupancy.
I am not suggesting that the electron cloud turns into a point-charge after interacting with a photon. I am also not claiming that it is easy to wrap one's mind around the first time through. However, I do think that the QM model of atoms, molecules and light is a very good one, and yes, it even becomes intuitive once you think about it enough. (lsd watered weed helps, of course)
If we break proton in hydrogen atom into quarks, hydrogen atom will be no more. Left about 1% mass - electron and 3 quarks.The missing mass should be converted to energy. Agree?

Left about 1% mass - electron and 3 quarks.The missing mass should be converted to energy. Agree?Currently the only known way to extract energy stored in proton, is annihilation with antiproton.f.e.p+ + p- -> pion0 + pion0 + pion0 + kinetic energy spread across these particles.Proton and antiproton have together 2 * 938.272 MeV = 1876.544 MeVPion0 rest mass is 135 MeV, so 3*135 MeV = 405 MeVThe rest is in kinetic energy of newly created particles.
Electron carries 1 negative charge, proton carries 1 positive charge.Why proton carries 939 Mev but electron only carries so little energy?
Is that suggesting that energy is negatively charged? Stored within protons force field?
All the energy released since big bang filled space and connected it into an EM field.All things in space/universe is connected by this EM field. When a charged particle accelerates, its force field produce a pressure wave into surrounding EM field, travel away at light speed.So far, do you agree the logic?

Stored within protons force field?There is no such thing as negative energy..Antiparticle has positive energy. Dirac was mistaken. He plug Einstein equation E=m*c^2 to Planck E=h*f, and though that antielectron will have negative frequency, negative mass, etc.But the all people who can calculate decay energy and decay modes of unstable isotopes will tell you it's wrong. Positron (antielectron) has positive energy.Quote from: jccc on 16/07/2014 02:38:52All the energy released since big bang filled space and connected it into an EM field.All things in space/universe is connected by this EM field.

In front of particle? There is no experiment confirming such behavior.Charged particle is emitting photons when it's changing direction or is decelerated, or intercepted by other charged particle (like f.e. electron intercepted by proton).f.e. if I will use Cockcroft-Walton generator to produce 10 kV, and plug electrodes to vacuum tube, electrons kinetic energy inside of tube will be 10 keV,if such highly accelerated electron will collide with something between electrodes like piece of metal, there will be emitted photon up to 10 keV (x-ray)and electron will be slowed down, decelerated.X-ray will fly through tube, then through walls, then will ionize air or other material behind it, leaving trace in Cloud Chamber.You can see it on your own eyes, if you will build Cloud Chamber and Cockcroft-Walton generator for less than $100http://www.ultimate-theory.com/en/2014/6/8/how-to-build-cloud-chamber-particle-detector
