Best Answer

maybe a neutron

when Millikan messed with oil drops he kinda thought the steps he saw were unit charges.. now we are getting strange and quarkey and consider an electron to be 2/3 of a unit charge made up of smaller units witch are real unit charges

but with the infinite knowledge of the senate and congress the super collider was killed so we may never know.

Why direction of current and electron is opposite?

This is because the conventional definition of a current flow is "the flow of POSITIVE charges" (from positive to negative terminal). However, positive charges in conductor do not move. It is only the electrons that are mobile. Hence the electrons will move towards the positive terminal, hence it is in the opposite direction of conventional current.See related links below.Additional AnswerWhen Benjamin Franklin was theorising about the nature of an electric current (long before the discovery of atoms), he thought that it was some sort of 'fluid' that flowed from an area of high pressure, which he labelled as 'positive', to an area of low pressure, which he labelled as 'negative'. Although we know that, in metal conductor at least, an electric current is a flow of negative charges (electrons) that flow from negative to positive, many (but by no means all) textbooks still use Franklin's current direction which is called 'Franklinian Flow' or, more commonly, 'Conventional Flow'.The reason for still using conventional flow seems rather odd, as there is no real advantage of continuing to do so.


What did the cathode ray tube tell us about atomic structure?

because Thomson saw the ray move from the cathode to the anode so the particles have negatively charge


Is conventional flow or electronic flow true?

Electronic flow is true. Conventional flow was thought to have positive charges flowing from the + terminal to the - terminal. This was before we knew that it is actually the electrons which flow, and the positive charges cannot move out of their atomic nuclei. Now that electrons have been detected, and protons are known to stay within the nucleus unless a nuclear reaction takes place, we know that it is the electrons that flow from the - terminal to the + terminal. This is known as electronic flow.


What is the cost of a nuclear reactor?

The cost of a nuclear reactor is nuclear waste witch is produced by The reaction in a nuclear reactor happens because neutrons hit the nuclei of atoms, which can divide, producing energy, new atoms, and more neutrons. When a neutron hits the nucleus of an atom, four different things can happen. In the case of most collisions with the nuclei of non-radioactive atoms and some radioactive atoms, the neutron imparts some of its energy to the atom and bounces off. In some cases the neutron is trapped in the nucleus, changing the atom from its isotope to the next heavier isotope. This usually means the atom becomes less stable and will quickly decay or undergo fission. In some cases the neutron simply causes the atom to decay. In some cases the neutron causes the atom to undergo fission. When an atom decays it loses mass and nearly always changes to a different element. Sometimes it emits an alpha particle and in so doing it drops 2 in atomic number and 4 in isotope. An example is when uranium-238 (atomic number 92) becomes Thorium-234 (atomic number 90) Sometimes it emits a beta particle, and when this happens its atomic number increases by one, but the isotope number stays the same. An example is when thorium-234 (atomic number 90) becomes protactinium 234 (atomic number 91). The decay of an atom is a long, multi-stepped process that ultimately ends with a radiologically inert isotope, such as lead-208. Fission happens when the atom, such as uranium-235, is divided into two daughter atoms with a combined mass somewhat less than the original. This process is rather unpredictable as to what atoms are produced, but they are typically radioactive. An example is uranium-235 dividing to produce barium-141 and krypton-92 (notice these atomic numbers add to 233, slightly less than the uranium's number). The by products of fission are all waste, as are the atoms they decay into. Nuclear waste is short lived, which usually decays in a spent fuel pool; medium lived, which usually decays in a couple hundred years; or long lived, which can last for millions of years. All of it remains dangerous as long as it is appreciably radioactive.
