The Discovery Of The Electron The electron was discovered in 1895 by J.J. Thomson in the form of cathode rays‚ and was the first elementary particle to be identified. The electron is the lightest known particle which possesses an electric charge. Its rest mass is Me <approximately equal> 9.1 x 10 -28 g‚ about 1/1836 of the mass of the proton or neutron. The charge of the electron is -e = -4.8 x 10^-10 esu <elec trostatic unit). The sign of the electron’s charge is negative by convention‚ and

the atom and of covalent and ionic bonding that students have used so far emphasizes the attractions between bonding atoms. The nucleus‚ electrons‚ and double-headed arrows show that the protons and electrons from one atom attract the oppositely charged electrons and protons of the other atom‚ resulting in bonding. The energy levels show that only valence electrons are involved in bonding. After students understand the important role of attraction of opposite charges‚ you may introduce them to a common

An electron microscope is a type of microscope that produces an electronically-magnified image of a specimen for detailed observation. The electron microscope (EM) uses a particle beam of electrons to illuminate the specimen and create a magnified image of it. The microscope has a greater resolving power than a light-powered optical microscope‚ because it uses electrons that have wavelengths about 100‚000 times shorter than visible light (photons)‚ and can achieve magnifications of up to 1‚000‚000x

Electron Microscopy The electron microscope is a very powerful microscope which can see things that normal microscopes cannot. There are 2 types of electron microscope: the transmission electron microscope and the scanning electron microscope. The sample must be in a vacuum so that no air bubbles are on the produced image and also because the electrons are absorbed by the molecules in the air‚ this means that the electron microscope cannot be used to look at living cells. The tissue is soaked

Electron Configuration Patterns WE CANNOT KNOW THE EXACT LOCATIONS OF ELECTRONS WITHIN ENERGY LEVELS‚ BUT WE CAN DESCRIBE PROBABLE REGIONS OF ELECTRON LOCATION. Our understanding of electron distribution is based on mathematical probabilities that result from knowledge about the behavior of charged particles in an atom: |a) | | |b) |

SINGLE ELECTRON TRANSISTOR SEMINAR ABSTRACT A single-electron transistor consists of a small conducting island connected to the source and drain leads by tunnel junctions and connected to one or more gates. The nanometre scale conductive island is embedded in an insulating material. Gate signals are capacitive coupled to the island. Two gate signals can be applied to the island out of which one is optional. Here‚ only one electron can tunnel from source to drain. The processes

share an electron. Also called covalent bond because they share valence electrons. A covalent bond‚ which is the strongest bond‚ takes action when two atoms valence overlap. For example‚ there are two suns and the light that shines from the two solid spheres forms many rays making a radiant cloud around each of the two. If these suns move closer together the radiant shine would be the valence. The closer they get the ray of light overlaps and they share light. If an atom can share valence electrons

The electron microscope‚ instrument that produced the first magnified image showing three-dimensional’ and highly magnified image of a small object. It directs a beam of electrons rather than light through a specimen. The beam of electrons is created from an electron gun. This beam then travels through the length of the microscope cylinder‚ which contains the lenses‚ the specimen chamber‚ and the image-recording system. Two types of electron lenses are used‚ electrostatic and electromagnetic

Sir J.J.THOMSOM is to physics what electron is to an atom. He charged the world of physics with his discoveries and gave momentum to atomic physics. Physics is what today because of this British scientist who is regarded as the greatest experimental physicists of this century. A bookseller’s son‚ Thomsom studied at the Owens College and later at the Manchester University. He wanted to become an engineer‚ but his father’s death in 1872 forced him to study Mathematics‚ Physics and Chemistry as he
