Information Sheet 1

The document discusses the structure and composition of atoms. It states that atoms consist of protons, neutrons, and electrons. The electron is negatively charged, while the proton is positively charged. Neutrons are not charged. All matter is composed of molecules, which are made up of atoms. Atoms contain a nucleus at their center, composed of protons and neutrons, with electrons orbiting the nucleus. The electron theory states that all matter is composed of electricity in the form of electrons and atomic nuclei.

PRINCIPLES AND THEORIES OF ELECTRON
Electricity is a property of the basic particle of matter which, like an atom, consists
of proton, electron and neutron. The electron is the negatively charged particle of
an atom which is sometimes referred to as the negatively charge of electricity. On
the other hand, the proton is the positively charged particle of an atom which is
sometimes referred to as the positively charge of electricity that weighs about 1850
times as much as the electron. The neutron is the particle which is not electrically
charged and weighs slightly more than proton.
Molecular theory
1. All matters are made up of molecules.
2. All molecules are made up of atoms.
3. All the atoms contain neutron, electrons and protons.
5. The entire neutron is neutral, hence, neither positively nor negatively charged.
6. The electron of an atom of any substance could be transferred to another atom.

The electron theory


The electron theory states that all matter is made up of electricity. Matter is
anything which has weight, occupies space is made up of molecules, of which
millions of different kinds. The molecules in turn, are made up of atoms of which
are the smallest units of the several elements and of a limited number. All atoms
believed to be composed of electrons, which are minute particle of negative
electricity normally held in place in each atom by positively charged particles
called nucleus. Thus, the electron, which are interlocked in the atoms, are
constantly revealing at great speeds in orbits around positive nuclei. In a normal
atom, the amount of negative electricity of the electrons is exactly neutralized by
an equal amount of opposite or positive electricity of the nucleus. Thus, a normal
atom exhibits no external sign of electrification.
Structure of an atom
Electron
Nucleus
All atoms consist of two basic parts: a body at the center of the atom called the nucleus, orbiting
around the nucleus. Atoms may have more than one orbiting electron, but each atom contains only
one nucleus.
