The quantum electron is an elementary charged lepton and one of the basic constituents of atoms.

Complex yellow illustration of the quantum electron, showing charge, spin, orbitals, and wavefunction coupling.

Abstract

A quantum electron is the lightest charged lepton and one of the basic constituents of atoms. It carries negative electric charge, has spin one-half, and participates in electromagnetic and weak interactions. Quantum descriptions of electrons explain atomic orbitals, chemical bonding, electrical conduction, scattering, and many precision tests of quantum theory.

Overview

Electrons occupy quantum states around atomic nuclei, carry electric charge, and participate in electromagnetic and weak interactions.
