Is there any difference between electrons of different materials?

Question

I mean when we see the electron or any 2 different materials is it gonna be the same or different. And one more Question is if electron revolves arround the nucleous what lies between the necleous and electron. Is there any medium between them ? Air, vaccum or what is there. there must be some thing . Because science says there is some gap may be a very minute but it is there. So what is there in that gap b/w nucleous and electron of any atom. Can somebody give some idea.

Answer 1

No. You can take an electron from Helium and an electron from Plutonium and they're the exact same thing. Interchangable even.

For the second bit, electrons and protons and neutrons are very, very, very tiny. For something like air (which is made up of atoms) to fit inside of an atom ... that doesn't make any sense. Also, few atoms exist discretely. Most are in reaction or connection with other atoms. But in short that free space is essentially minute bits of vacuum through which subatomic particles may move freely. Note two that in that empy space there are also theorized to exist other subatomic particles that are moving along. Such as gravitrons, positrons, tachyons, etc. I recommend the book "The Elegant Universe" by Brian Greene. Extremely interesting.

Answer 2

The electron is a fundamental particle, and it's always the same whatever the atom it makes part of. Every electron is identical. Now, the description you've made about the electron's behaviour within the atom is a little obsolete. It's a classical view. The thing is the electron moves tremendously quickly, traveling mostly within some boundaries that represent the most probable positions of the electron in an atom. So, we call orbitals to those areas where it is most probable to find the electron. However, we can never say, for sure, that the electron is in a determined place. It may be seen as if the electron was, actually, a probability wave, which means, a wave that gives the probability of the electron occupying a determined position. It is as if the electron is everywhere, but it is more in the places where it is more likely for it to be, and less in the other places. And that supposedly blank space between the nucleous and the electrons is filled with that probability wave characteristic of the quantum state of each electron.

Answer 3

All electrons are absolutely the same.

The space in between is nothing in the sense that there's "nothing there" in the Newtonian model of physics. Yet, on the Planck scale at 1.616 x 10^-35 absolutely everything is interconnected by an endless fabric of existence.

Another oddity of physics is that electrons do not move from one orbit to another. They simply manifest their existence from one to another. Pop Pop Pop

Newtonian physics is not Quantum Physics is not Plank Scale Physics. You cannot, under any circumstances, adequately explain the Quantum level using "physical" or Newtonian terms. This is probably why you're having a hard to picturing this...there's nothing to picture.

Answer 4

All electrons are alike.

The gap between electrons and the nucleous is the same material that is between air molicules - nothing, rememebr we are talking sub-atomic particles.

Answer 5

An electron is an electron. Electrons can leave one atom and jump onto another atom.

What is between them? Well, air. Or a vacuum. Or space. Whatever you want to call it. And relative to it's size, it's a very large gap between the nucleus and the electron.

Answer 6

Electrons can be swapped between materials and the materials would be the same. There is nothing but space between the electrons and the nucleus.

Answer 7

electron has a unfavorable can charge (-). protron has useful can charge (+). North Magnetic Pole is the wandering element on the earth's floor at which the Earth's magnetic field factors vertically downwards. South Magnetic Pole is the wandering element on the earth's floor the place the geomagnetic field lines are directed vertically upwards.

Answer 8

Interesting questions, but no, all electrons are identical.

Electrons are shared between compounds and there is no decernable difference. . .

Answer 9

No, all electrons are identical.
