Gravitational phenomena

Electrostatic phenomena (correct)

Magnetic phenomena

Nuclear phenomena

They are only relevant in macroscopic systems.

They are negligible compared to gravitational forces at nanoscale.

They play a large role in how atoms and molecules behave due to large Coulomb forces between electrons and positively charged nuclei. (correct)

They have no significant impact at nanoscale.

<p>$F = k_e \frac{|q_1 q_2|}{r^2}$, where $F$ is the force between the charges, $k_e$ is Coulomb's constant, $q_1$ and $q_2$ are the magnitudes of the charges, and $r$ is the distance between the charges.</p> Signup and view all the answers
