Question

what is electron..........? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

electron is a subatomic particle, symbol e⁻ or β⁻ , whose electric charge is negative one elementary charge. Electrons belong to the first generation of the lepton particle family, and are generally thought to be elementary particles because they have no known components or substructure.

Answer 2

Answer:

Electrons are subatomic particles that hold an elementary charge of magnitude -1. The charge of an electron is equal in magnitude to the charge held by a proton (but has an opposite sign). Therefore, electrically neutral atoms/molecules must have an equal number of electrons and protons. Although the magnitude of the charges held by protons and electrons are the same, the size and mass of an electron are much smaller than that of a proton (the mass of an electron is roughly 1/1836 the mass of a proton). Owing to their small size and mass, the properties exhibited by electrons can be studied better with the help of quantum mechanics rather than classical mechanics. This is because matter behaves differently at the quantum scale. For example, the uncertainty associated with the position and the velocity of an electron is much greater than that associated with a proton or a neutron, as per Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle. Electrons are distributed around the nuclei of atoms in atomic orbitals, which can be simply visualized as regions around the nucleus in which the probability of finding a specific electron is the highest.

1) Discovery: The electron was discovered by the English physicist J.J.Thomson in the year 1897, via his experiments with cathode ray tubes.

2) Charge of electrons:An electron is a negatively charged particle. The negative charge is equal to 1.602 × 10-19 coulomb in magnitude. The mass of an electron is 1/1837 of a proton.Later, scientists discovered the fundamental sub-atomic particles protons, electrons, and neutrons. An atom has a bulk mass at its centre called a nucleus. The nucleus contains the protons and the neutrons. Considering the solar system, it has been observed that the sun is at its centre, and the planets revolve around it. Similarly, in an atom, the nucleus is at the centre, and the electrons revolve around the nucleus.

Thompson, therefore, concluded that the cathode rays are 1/1000th mass of hydrogen ion (which is a proton). These negatively charged cathode ray particles are now known as electrons.
