How can something subatomic blow bubbles in a chamber?

Like in a bubble chamber you mean?7555 said:How can something subatomic blow bubbles in a chamber?
Bubbles form when a gas is trapped inside a liquid. When a gas is released from a liquid, it creates a spherical shape due to surface tension.
The surface tension of the liquid causes the bubble to close when forming. This is because the liquid molecules are strongly attracted to each other, pulling the bubble into a spherical shape.
The ability for a liquid to form bubbles depends on its surface tension and viscosity. Liquids with low surface tension and high viscosity, such as soap bubbles, are more likely to form bubbles than liquids with high surface tension and low viscosity, like water.
No, bubbles do not always form a perfect sphere. Factors such as air currents, surface tension, and impurities in the liquid can cause bubbles to have irregular shapes.
Yes, bubbles can form and close in space. However, the lack of gravity in space can affect the shape and behavior of bubbles, making them appear more spherical and stable compared to bubbles on Earth.
