The image attached is the image of the structure of an atom but what is present in the space between the 2 shells? I know there is some electrostatic force between their which keeps the protons and electrons close enough but then force does not require any space between 2 things. Why is that empty, is it vacuum, or is nothing present there but then not possible for nothing to be present because everything has to be made up of something
Answers
Energy Gap....... is your answer
1. Orbiting electrons contains energy and are confirmed to definite energy levels.
2. The various shells in an atom represent these levels.
3. Therefore, to move an electron from the lower shell to a higher shell a certain amount of energy is required.
3. Below the conduction band is the forbidden band or energy gap, electrons are never found in this band, but may travel back and forth through it, provided they do not come to rest in the band.
4. As the electrons can also lose energy as well as receive it when an electron loses energy it moves to a lower shell.
5. And supplying more energy than is needed will only cause the electron to move to the next higher shell.
6. It means that an energy gap is the spacing between two orbital shells.
