Electron

Within an atom the electrons surround the nucleus of protons and neutrons in an electron configuration. The word electron was coined in 1894 and is derived from the term electric, whose ultimate origin is the Greek word 'ηλεκτρον, meaning amber. Electrostatic charge can be generated by rubbing amber with the pelt of an animal such as a cat. The ending -on, shared by most subatomic particles, was used in analogy to the word ion.


 

Nucleus: Nucleus can mean:...

Proton: :For alternative meanings see proton (disambiguation)....

Electron configuration: In atomic physics, the electron configuration is the arrangement of electrons in an atom, molecule or other body. Specifically, it is the placement of electrons into atomic, molecular, or other forms of electron orbitals....
