the charge of either a single proton, or the absolute charge of a single electron is approximately 1.602176487(40)×10−19 coulombs .The magnitude of the elementary charge was first measured in Robert A. Millikan's noted oil drop experiment in 1909

How calculate electrons?

To calculate the number of electrons, you need to know the total charge of the system or material in question and the charge of a single electron (approx. -1.6 x 10^-19 coulombs). By dividing the total charge by the charge of a single electron, you can determine the number of electrons. Formula: Total number of electrons = Total charge / Charge of a single electron.


What did Robert milikan discover?

Millikan's oil-drop experiment demonstrated that charge is quantized, and that the quantum of charge ... the 'elementary' charge ... is 1.6 x 10-19 Coulomb.

What is the ionic charge of fluoride ion?

It is a single negative charge, so the fluoride ion is denoted F-. The fluorine atom gains one electron to incur a single negative charge of -1.


Is an electron made of a single element?

The electron is not a chemical element: it is a small elementary particle with a negative electrical charge.


Who discovered the charge to mass ratio for the electrons?

Millikan found the charge of an electron by his famous oil drop experiment. J J Thomson determined the specific charge of the electron. That means the ratio of the charge of an electron to its mass. With these two values one can find the mass of electron by dividing the charge value by its specific charge.
