electron

Here they view the electron cloud of an atom in unprecedented detail, including the first two orbital types: sphere and butt Xerox. So far so good. But I thought these were "probability clouds", i.e. just a mathematical definition of the satistical probability an electron would be at each...

This seems like a simple question but is it? We all know that the speed of light is about 300,000 km/s (186,000 mi/s) in a vacuum and that this applies to all other electromagnetic waves too. We also know that this figure is reduced when travelling through air, water, glass, etc. It is often...

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23336318/ Scientists have filmed an electron in motion for the first time, using a new technique that will allow researchers to study the tiny particle's movements directly.

In a true debate, both sides present their evidence or theories, rather than just one being hit with questions. So allow me to ask for your opinions or theories on why there are 2, 8, 18, and 32 electrons in the shells going outward from the Nucleus of an atom. You can of course say it is...

Is it true that if there is two slits in a "wall" and if you were to have something behind it to capture what goes through the slits and you fire electrons at it, it will create a wave like interference pattern of many lines on the capturing wall because a single electron would go through both...

I recently bought a wholesale lot that included 3 electron microscopes. Does anyone here know something about them? I know they're older models and supposed to work.
