Specialty Definition: ELECTRONS

DomainDefinition

Health

Stable elementary particles having the smallest known negative charge, present in all elements; also called negatrons. Positively charged electrons are called positrons. The numbers, energies and arrangement of electrons around atomic nuclei determine the chemical identities of elements. Beams of electrons are called cathode rays or beta rays, the latter being a high-energy biproduct of nuclear decay. (references)

Weather

Tiny particle moving around outside the nucleus of an atom. Each electron has one unit of negative charge (-) and almost no mass. (references)

Ordinarily an oxygen molecule, like other molecules, has an even number of electrons in orbit. (references)

But the normal process of turning food into energy--metabolism--produces oxygen radicals with an odd number of electrons. (references)

Some researchers believe that oxygen free radicals--electrically charged molecules in which the number of electrons is not equal to the number of protons--generated by estrogen metabolism may play a major role in damaging reproductive tract tissue. (references)
