Abstract

A slowed video tape of water droplet collisions can be used to help chemistry students visualize nuclear particle collisions because the two events share several characteristics. When two nuclei touch on their edges. parts such as protons and neutrons are exchanged in a direct nuclear reaction. Water droplets also exchange parts which is clearly presented on the tape especially if the water droplets are dyed different colors. A droplet and nuclei also obtain rotational motion after the collision because of the transfer fo angular momentum.
