QUESTION: According to the passage, which of the following can be found in the atomic realm?
A) More than 1 level of energy exchange
B) Exactly 1 elementary particle
C) Exactly 3 kinds of atomic structures
D) 3 levels on the quantum ladder
E) No particles smaller than atoms
NOTE: I’m having trouble finding where the answer is in paragraph one. Any help is greatly appreciated!
B: Elementary particles always used in plural -> B is out
C: Lists more than 3 structures (molecules, liquids, solids, gases, plasmas) -> C is out
D: Nothing about 3 quantum ladder levels -> D is out
E: “Atoms and molecules decompose into nuclei and electrons” -> E is out
It’s A because (I can’t cite specific lines because they’re cut off)
“The energy exchanges taking place in this realm are at a relatively low order” (Possible hint: Plural)
“If these exchanges are below 1 electron volt… [they’re considered] conditional elementarity” Energy exchange level #1
“If one goes to higher energy exchanges… [they’re considered] elementary” Energy exchange level #2
So, more than 1.
Ohh okay I see it now. Thank you!
