Day Two

Describe the behavior of an electron.

It's hard to sum up the behavoir of an electron because simply put, they are NOT simple! Scientists are still doing research on them. An electron is a magnetic field and it acts as a deflector. They have a gravitational pull to create weak interactions. The behavior of an electron is going to be very unique because no two electrons are alike. This create the 2 different wave patters; "in phase" and "out phase". The number of waves will create a reaction and a distribution number for the amount of electrons.  An electron will either gain or lose energy and create a rotation around the nucleus. They are based upon "levels" and will either gain or lose a level depending on their energy. The have a rotating behavior and it is hard to know how the electron is going to react in any situation. It is also very hard because they are so small so we can't tell where they may be at a certain time.
