its a gas sim
Lets assume that one shining dot is actually two hydrogen atoms (H2)
first question: when this H2 collides with other H2 (please let it'll be a sphere [ex protone]), they repel each other BUT: can they just fly by without collision? or they collide like here:
-- the 'atoms' collide like normal spheres
from http://en.wikipedia....iki/Temperature
SO HOW DO THEY COLLIDE? LIKE NORMAL SPHERES OR THEY CAN JUST FLY BY THEMSELVES AND DO NOT COLLIDE AND CHANGE DIRECTION RAPIDLY? its really important question without this i cannot start simulating atoms
second question is: if we have a BOX like in first movie and we have not so many (now) gas molecues (so the pressure is 'low'). HOW DO THE MOLECUES POSITION IN THE BOX, i know one thing with temperature greater than 0 degrees they will be moving, but what with empty space ? THE GAS SHOULD FILL WHOLE BOX VOLUME but it has not enough atoms so how do the atoms behave there? in ex if we have 20 molecues (h2) does gas divide volume by 20 and one molecue is situated in 1/20 of box volume ? lol i guess not but how do atoms behave there
and last question: let's assume thet we have 2 molecules in box [almost vaccum there], when atoms (hydrogen molecues - H2) are close enough to each other they start to repel but what happens if they are far away from each other do they attract ? whats the name of this attract force ? is it equal to newton gravitational force like F=G ((mm)/r*r)
PLEASE HELP i am only a programmer not a physicist or chemist i am only interested in this kind of stuff and i just want to simulate those processes to have better knowledge lol :C
