Physical sciencesAlso issued in print: 2012.Originally published: London: George Bell and Sons, 1906.1-108-05214-2 The discovery in 1897 of the electron, the first subatomic particle, led to rapid advances in our knowledge of atomic structure, the solid state, radioactivity and chemistry. It also raised major questions. Was the electron point-like or did it have structure? Was there a positive electron? What did the positive part of the atom look like? Did a hydrogen atom have one electron or a thousand? Published in 1906, this expository account by leading physicist Sir Oliver Lodge (1851-1940) examines the spectacular phenomena of cathode rays in evacuated tubes, the fixed units of charge observed in electrolysis, and the puzzling regularities in atomic spectra. Lodge knew most of the pioneers in the field, and his enthusiastic descriptions of their work and clear analyses of the problems as well as successes paint a vivid picture of the excitement of cutting-edge research and the scientific process in action.Cambridge library collection.Physical sciences.ElectronsElectrons.539.72112Lodge OliverSir,1851-1940,27107StDuBDSStDuBDSBOOK9910160955303321Electrons: Or, The Nature and Properties of Negative Electricity1861876UNINA
