How do electrons work? Behaviors?
Particles, very small mass, waves, electron bonds
It is very hard to understand electrons and how they work.
Heisenburg Uncertainity Principle
An electron in motion relative to an observer generates a magnetic field, and will be deflected by external magnetic fields. Electrons, like all matter, have quantum mechanical properties of both particles and waves, so they can collide with other particles and be diffracted like light. However, this duality is best demonstrated in experiments with electrons, due to their tiny mass. The electron has no known substructure
When the electrons in the element are exposed to heat energy they gain energy and move into the excited state. When in the excited state the electrons exhaust the energy they have gained and while releasing it, the result is a wave of light energy which can be observed by human eyes. The electrons then revert back to their grounded state where they can absorb energy levels again. Some metals have higher energy levels resulting in the electron being able to go farther and absorb more energy. This extra energy results in a lower wavelength because it is all released at once and this lower wavelength results in a higher frequency and a different visible color.
