Question

The planets of the solar system revolve around the sun due to gravitational forces. Which force acts in the atom?

Answer 1

Hello dear,

◆ Answer -
Electromagnetic force acts in the atom. It keeps the electrons to revolve in stable orbits around the nucleus.

◆ Extra information -
- Any interaction that causes change in motion of object is called a force.
- There are 4 principal types of forces -
1) Strong nuclear force
2) Weak nuclear force
3) Electromagnetic force
4) Gravitational force


Hope this helps you. Thanks for asking dear..

Answer 2

Answer with explanation:

Like planets in the solar system that revolve around the sun are held together by gravitational forces, likewise there are forces that act on the atom.

There are four types of forces that act on the atom which keep the electrons in the orbit around the positively charged nucleus. These forces include:

1. The weak nuclear force

2. The strong nuclear force

3. The electromagnetic force

4. The nuclear force

However, the effect of gravity is rather negligible in atom.
