What Does an Electron Look Like?

Can you show the electrons in an FCC lattice for copper 2+. I dont mind folks explaining electrons as standalone atoms but lets be real honest theres no such thing as lone atoms.

Oddly carbon is probably the easiest to do stuff with. Its got four valnece electrons, and is quite closely packed in the tetrahedral config. Or in the hexagonal pla ar sheets.

I hope atom some point they get fusion using diamond anvils.

I haven't done the math, but I always thought the reason for discrete orbitals was because for atoms of a given charge, only specific orbit radii allowed for a match between speed and speed of light distance to the far side of the orbit such that there was a destructive interference of the electromagnetic emission and a resulting keeping of the kinetic energy withing the electron. When something happens to drop the electron slightly down in orbit energy, it is gonna emit in a big @&*$ hurry until it dissipates enough energy to be in the next lower orbit. The obvious problem of my past understanding is there is no lower orbit to descend to below the base energy level.

That's exactly how I see it in my mind, a fuzzy sort of constant wave

A particle is a vibration in a quantum field...pretty sure no one knows what it looks like.

Keep the top of your hair if you not, but get a fade on the sides starting at a 1 or lower.

they're all in a cloud and vibrating at a certain frequency you can manipulate

Why can't this be solved with a self correcting PID controller?

You said so if we take the square of the waveform of the electron in a specific orbital and I suppose at that level that's where I struggle because that's a level of maths I don't understand a kind of understand that that's you're applying mathematics you're applying a constant or a row calculation in order to give you a result I just don't quite understand how the maths works the square of the waveform yeah that's just learning I think isn't it an understanding thank you though really interesting.

I don't know who arranged all these diagrams and this isn't a criticism of this video but when I was studying this at a level these diagrams were appallingly poorly set out so confusing and so ridiculously disorganised science is supposed to be logical and yet they've presented these diagrams in such a neological manner it really frustrated me but didn't help at all.

i read the thumbnail as "This is an erection" what is wrong with me help

omg bro...u explained atoms being quantized...its the rate they are vibrating that gives it their distinction.

Kinda funny how Humans think they know how the Universes work.

Fu.k off with that better help propaganda!!!

It's quite challenging for me to visualise these s, p, d, f orbitals. Here's how I imagine them: The atomic nucleus generates wave-like magnetic fields around itself in various geometric forms. Electrons reside within these positive energy waves. It seems evident that the shapes of these orbitals bear resemblance to magnetic fields resembling water waves or ripples.

To explain it to me(simpleton)If a neutron were the size of a baseball (9inch)and placed on the pitcher’s mound of a stadium the closest electron would be the size of a fly,flying around the outside of that stadium.When man first split the atom god shook his head and said “I knew I should of made them out of something smaller “.

stop waving your arms around like an epileptic

Showing me an electron without using a CRT is offensive.

What?

I am an electron and I can confirm about this

This example gave me a better understanding of electron and wave equations, thanks a lot.

I know what an electron is! It's how we choose our president. You're such idiots.

Fun fact: the words electric, electricity, electron, etc come from the Greek word for amber ήλεκτρον (ēlektron).

I ate a whole peanut that’s made up of lots and lots of atoms

sweet man voice

It was proposed by Rutherford in 1911, not in 1909

wow, what perfect way to finally be able to visualize electrons. on another note now i can completely understand how atoms form molecular bonds cause it's literally all just interlocking waves

very interested in betterhelp. Appreciate the shout out to them

This is called the "harmonic series" fyi

isnt that if we want to know what a electron really looks like

we better study how would a single electron look like
rather than how it is in the atom

Amazing to know that Jesus figured all this out and created it! A part of Him that people don’t think about!

Who else wonders "How in the %&@* does anyone measure where something as small as an electron is?!" We've heard how small those things are. Really? They can pinpoint a single one? Really?

I’ll try to remember this each time I “pitcher” and atom!

You really don't need Born's statistical derivation to understand the principle. In fact I find Heisenberg's Matrix Mechanics a more entertaining and thoughtful interpretation instead, and it yields the very same results as Born's statistical derivation.

Beautiful :)

I like your videos, but please stop talking with your hands. It's very distracting.

can i have your shirt?

I wish I was a smart as you are. Now I do understand it much better. Nice work.

Science!

I love this amazing explanation, but I wonder if, because an electron moves to a higher energy level when a photon hits it (and then reverts to its original one after emitting a photon), does the atom gain mass during that time and, if so, do we have less mass in the dark? (Mass being equivalent to energy)

Fantastic demo! I've seen mode changes with sand particles on a vibrating drum but this one was unique and even more illustrative of point particle physics.

This helps prove my theory of an electron being more like a net of energy and not a definite particle.

What's vibrating is a fluidynamic property known as pressure (P°) as ignored by scientists...

Outstanding example!

I need to get me something like that to demonstrate!

The Atom Theory is complete nonsense, zero proof only cartoons

Maybe electrons are orbiting the nucleus in the classical way! If as quantum theory states, electrons can only release their energy in quantized packets (photons), then maybe their centripetal acceleration at ground state just isn't enough for them to give off a photon, become unstable, and crash. Just a thought - I'm probably flying in the face of a 100 years of orbital theory here.
