4 PUNDAMENTAL FORCES Fundamental interaction, inphysics, any ofthe four basic forces — gravitational, electromagnetic, strong, and ‘Weak that govern haw abfets or particles interact and how certain particles decay. ‘The gravitational force, described systematically by Isaac Newton in the 17 century, acts between all ‘bets having mass; i causes apple to fll from trees and determines the orbits ofthe planets around the Sun ‘The electromagnetic force, given scientific defition by James Clerk Maxwell in the 19% century, is responsible forthe repulsion of ike and the attraction of unke eectic charges. ‘Tho strong force acts between quarks, the constituents ofall subatomic particles, including protons and neutrons, “The weak force manifests ita in certain forms of radioactive decay and in the nuclear reactions the fuel the ‘Sun and other stare BAS IC TERMS ‘Matter — anything that occupies space and has mass. Element — a species of tom having the same number of protons ints atomic nucle ‘Compound ~ chemical combination of elements, ‘Molecule ~ chemical combination of two or more atoms, smallest particle that has all he characteristic ‘of a compound. ‘Atom ~ the smallest particle ofan element. O7:21 1 1:17:42 ATOM ‘Atypical atom consists of three subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons. ‘The number of protons inthe nucleus represents the atomic number. Isotopes are cilerent types of atoms (nucides) of the same chemical element having different ruber on S — BOHR MODEL Electrons reside in group of orbits called shel (also called energy levels) “The outermost shell is called the valence shell, and the electrons resiging in the outermost shell is called valence electrons.

ST 3 ELECTRICAL CLAS S IFICATION ‘Conductors ~ materials with less than four (4) valence electrons. Allows electrical current to flow easily because of more fre electrons. Insulators ~ materials wth more than four (4) valence electrons. Insulators will not alow the flow of Current because there are less or no tree electrons. ‘Semiconductors ~ materials with exactly four (4) valence electrons, nave electrical characteristics, between conductor and insulator. ELECTROS TATICS Electrostatics deals with forces between charges. Static means the charges are not moving, or at least are not moving very fast. ‘Coulomb's Law ~ The magnitude of the force of attraction or repulsion between two charges is directly proportional to the value of each charge and varies inversely as the square of the distance between them. ia a 5 |e aca?)
