To understand the arrangement of electrons in atoms, Neils Bohor understood the spectra. When white light (eg. sunlight or light from an ordinary electric light bulb) is passed through a prism, the white light is broken up into many different colours. This called a continuous spectrum. But when Bohor carried out this experiment… Continue Reading →
Properties of the Electron It is a particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom. It has a very small mass. It is negatively charged. Charge = e. This is the smallest amount of charge found in nature. It is the indivisible quantity of charge. Millikan first found the value… Continue Reading →
The story of the electron and describes how reality is a kind of music, discussing electron shells and orbitals, electron configurations, ionization and electron affinities, and how all these things can be understood via the periodic table.
