A tactical guide to the infinite realm of science. Although the world of science would take eternity to explore, Professor Quibb attempts to scrape the edge of this Universe. This blog helps you to understand particular topics under the more general categories: cosmology, mathematics, quantum physics, meteorology and others. Join me on my trek across the untraversed lands of the unknown.

The Electron
The Electron is an elementary particle found in the atom. It is a lepton, and is stable, although it is possible that an electron may decay in 10^26 years (average). The electron is the basis for the study of orbitals and atomic bonding. Electrons are so small that their exact location is never determined and, like other particles have a wave form. The electron has a negative charge (note 4).
