What is electron theory?

Answer 1

There are many theories about electrons, but perhaps the most fascinating is quantum theory. It offers a unique explanation of the universe. It is so complex, even Einstein never quite got a handle on it.

Electrons, as far as we can tell, never exist in a measurable precise location, the more accurately you measure its location, the less you can measure its velocity, we have to bounce light off a particle to see it, these photons move the electron in question, ruining the measurement. That's uncertainty. If you look at something small, you change its position or velocity in doing so. We must use probability to make measurements of electron motion.

Electrons also have the unique property, best summed up by Richard Feyman "electrons behave like particles...no they don't exactly, they also behave like waves...no they don't exactly."

Not much of an answer I know, but that's why it's a theory.

Answer 2

Electron theory is the principle that explains the behavior of electrons within atoms and molecules. It describes how electrons move in specific energy levels around the nucleus of an atom, influencing chemical bonds and the properties of different materials.Electron theory forms the basis of our understanding of electricity, magnetism, and chemical reactions.
