Electricity is the energy created by the movement of charges particles such as electrons, positrons and ions. Use of electricity has the potential to be hazardous with possible fatal results like electric shock, electric burns, electrical explosion and static electricity. What according to you can be causes of electric shock, static electricity (each 2.5 marks)?

Some particles are created via collisions. For instance, pions are created via collisions with high energy protons and carbon, which releases neutrons and pions (which they themself, decay into muons). Suppose two particles with momenta of p1 = (3,-1, 0, 0) kg and p2 = (2, 1, 1, 0) kg collide. Three particles are created as a result from this collision, two of which have momenta of p3 = (1, 1, 0, 0) kg and p4 = (1,-0.5, 0, 0)...

What physically causes energy to make subatomic particles move? I know energy causes particles to move "kinetic energy" and the measure of kinetic energy is particles jiggling and colliding with one another giving temperature. But what physically causes "energy" to be able to move the partices? Which gives heat.

± Analysis of Electroplating When electricity (the flow of electrons) is passed through a solution, it causes an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction to occur. If the solution contains a metal cation such as Ag+, the flow of electrons will reduce the silver ion, causing solid silver to plate onto the electrode. The amount of metal plated depends on the number of electrons passed. The total charge of a mole of electrons is 96,485 coulombs (C) and 1ampere(A)=1coulomb/second(C/s) 19/20 MC Part A...

The Bohr model of the hydrogen atom treats electrons as particles that orbit the nucleus at a particular radius and with a particular speed.  This model correctly predicts the energy levels of the hydrogen atom, but paints an inaccurate physical picture of the atom.  Explain how the real hydrogen atom differs from the Bohr model.
