Why is the net force 0 when the nucleus of two hydrogen atom overlap each other?

Question

anonymous · Answer

Do you have a problem where it states that?

anonymous · Answer

When two hydrogen atoms overlap you will have a few forces to deal with.  Electromagnetic forces, gravitational forces, etc.

anonymous · Answer

What if I'm only focusing on the electric force right now?

anonymous · Answer

The question is: you have a H-atom traveling through another H-atom, how will the force vs. position graph look like?

anonymous · Answer

It gets a bit more tricky than that since I guess we are dealing with Gauss's Law right now?

anonymous · Answer

I just don't understand how the forces will cancel out when you're inside an uniformly negatively charged sphere with a proton at the center.
