The Fermi Level is a term used to describe the set of electron energy levels at a temperature of absolute zero. Fermi's energy concept is important for the understanding of the electrical and thermal properties of solids. Both electrical and thermal processes involve energy values of a small fraction of an electron-volt. In thermal equilibrium, the net current of both electrons and holes is zero.
Sugar is made of molecules that are bonded together based on the positively and negatively charged areas. They will slowly dissolve in water. Pebbles are solids. They will sit in water for a long time. Though shale pebbles will break apart or fall apart.
