If something makes a real particle, that particle can go off on its own across space. If something makes a disturbance, that disturbance will die away, or break apart, once its cause is gone. So it’s not like a particle at all, and I wish we didn’t call it that. Fig. 1: ...
Why is graphite a good conductor whereas diamond is not? (Both contain infinite lattices of covalently bound carbon atoms) What are atoms and why are they important? Explain why metals conduct electricity. Explain the origin of the ``chemical shift" seen for a p...
