Yeah...I understand the Weak Force causes neutrons to change into protons, electrons, and antineutrinos (in relationship with the Strong Force)

and that the total charge remains the same

but is that it? What is an antineutrino?

and is it true that electrons are supposed to be attracted to the protons thanks to electromagetism, but do not thanks to their wave-like actions? Got any extra info on that?


I amazed myself looking upon this...paragraph of paragraphs if you will

I did not understand a single thing you said

Good....good for you :?

Do the antineutrinos motions change thier electromagnetic charge?

Positive to negative?
Or vice-versa?

I'm not sure...although I think that antineutrinos are neutral in charge....seeing as how the overall charge would be 0 still

So..a neutrallly charged particle would be attracted to neither a positively charged, nor a negatively charged particle, right?

Heh....you tell me....I'm making guesses here

I really do not know what an antineutrino would do...


*looks at watch*

Guess I'll figure it out tomorrow or so...

thanks anyways....in advance....or thanks for the help.....or....

what I just said sounds right to me..but this is waaay above my scientific knowledge base, to tell you the truth.

I dont believe antineutrinos have a charge....

...so an antineutrino wouldn't do anything, it wouldnt be attracted at all. No charge means there won't be attraction since things are only attracted because they are positive and negative to begin with.

May I suggest you read “a brief history of time” by Stephen Hawking. It explained it quite well for me.

WTF...um...., er.... damn... I thought weak adn strog forces were in physics not in chem :(

you could also try reading "The Universe in a Nutshell"

The electron is attracted to the proton and it passes right through the proton, thanks to its wave-like actions.

The neutron decay you mentioned involves the creation of an electron. That is accompanied by the creation of a anti-neutrino. If the beta decay had instead involved a nucleus giving off a positively charged positron (anti-electron), it would have also given off a neutrino.

If electrons and neutrinos are considered to each be one lepton and the anti-electrons and anti-neutrinos to each be negative one lepton, then the total number of leptons created in the decay is zero. The creation of an electron and an anti-neutrino means creating one lepton and negative one lepton so the total change in the number of leptons is zero. If an anti-electron and a neutrino are created in a decay, that creates negative one lepton plus one lepton so the total number of leptons created is still zero.

The conservation of lepton number is also true for reactions called charged current interactions. A neutrino collides with a neutron to make an electron and a proton. One lepton (neutrino) is destroyed and another lepton (electron) is created so the change in the number of leptons is still zero. Another charged current interaction has an anti-neutrino collide with a proton to make a neutron and an anti-electron. The number of leptons is negative one before the interaction and negative one after the interaction.

And then there are muons, tau leptons, mu neutrinos, tau neutrinos, and all of their anti-particle counterparts. Then there are flavor mixings, neutral current interactions, and a search for neutrinoless double beta decays. Have fun
