The ultimate aim is to get a Phd and I was just wondering if that would be possible. Question before was asking what jobs would this lead me to?

So what in asking is, I love the subject but would it be worth it to put that much effort in? As in what could I do after?

I am 16 with a passion for physics, I am not by any means a genius but I am good at physics and best in the year (based on results). I've read on degree choices that a degree in physics is like a VIP pass to jobs as it shows you can think logically etc. some people in my class underestimate how...

Ah ok thank you

Where do those electrons come from?

Before I sound stupid I am only at GCSE level (high school in America) so understanding is little. But theoretically could an alpha particle (helium nucleus) gain electrons and become a helium atom. If this is possible can it be done with two beta particles? Correct me I in wrong an explain why...

Genes code for everything in your body

I was just wondering if a machine could be said to be 100% efficient if for example it gave out heat, light and sound but all I these types of energy are wanted and not wasted? Thanks for the replies

Oh I'm the 'nerd' so people get bored when I discuss this with them but thanks for the help and nice comments

No I understand all of that, I seem like an idiot now cause I knew that...

Oh I wouldn't try to think about that as i don't think taste and smell is not properly understood

I think your taking free wrong. Free means free to move within the solution. They use free for electrolysis as an ionic compound can only conduct electricity when a liquid and when the ions are free

Might help to post this in chemistry section though

I think salt was already formed in the water just dissolved, are you confused about why atoms for ionic bonds?

Or you could think of it in the context of salt farms. The water evaporates of leaving the salt behind which is collected. So the salt cannot evaporate of with the water (probably because its too heavy)
