The 106 pages that link to Electron, each with the reason it gives.

• Atomic numberRelated: A neutral atom has as many electrons as protons, though ionization changes the electron count.

• PhotonCompared with: Electrons carry electric charge and rest mass; photons carry neither.

• OxidationBroader topic: Oxidation is defined by the loss of this particle.

• ProtonCompared with: Its opposite charge balances the proton in electrically neutral atoms.

• Electric chargeRelated: Electrons carry the negative charge that commonly moves through materials.

• NeutronCompared with: Unlike the neutron, it is elementary, negatively charged, and not a nuclear constituent.

• Quantum electrodynamicsRelated: The electron is the simplest charged particle whose electromagnetic interactions QED describes.

• Oxidizing agentNarrower topic: Electron transfer is the defining event in oxidation-reduction reactions.

• NeutrinoRelated: The electron neutrino is paired with the electron in the weak interaction.

• Atomic nucleusCompared with: Electrons shape atomic size and chemistry, while the nucleus holds most atomic mass.

• Bohr modelRelated: The model assigns electrons the orbits whose energies are quantized.

• AuroraRelated: Precipitating electrons collide with atmospheric gases and excite their atoms and molecules.

• Compton scatteringNarrower topic: Its recoil accounts for the photon’s loss of energy and momentum.

• IonRelated: Ions form when electrons are transferred or, in some cases, removed.

• Hydrogen atomRelated: Its quantum states determine hydrogen’s size and spectrum.

• Hendrik LorentzRelated: Lorentz’s electron theory modeled matter’s electromagnetic behavior through charged particles.

• IonizationBroader topic: Ionization changes the number of electrons associated with an atom or molecule.

• J. J. ThomsonBroader topic: Thomson identified cathode rays as streams of these particles in 1897.

• John DaltonCompared with: The electron’s discovery overturned Dalton’s claim that atoms are indivisible.

• Redox potentialBroader topic: Electron transfer is the microscopic event underlying oxidation and reduction.

• Cavendish LaboratoryBroader topic: Thomson’s Cavendish experiments established the electron as a constituent of atoms.

• Elementary chargeRelated: An electron carries exactly the negative of the elementary charge.

• Electron microscopeNarrower topic: Electron microscopes use these particles as illumination and signal carriers.

• Electrical conductorRelated: Mobile electrons carry charge through metals and many solid conductors.

• Electrical resistivityBroader topic: Electron motion and scattering account for conduction and resistivity in ordinary metals.

• PositronCompared with: It has the positron’s mass and spin but the opposite electric charge.

• Transmission electron microscopyNarrower topic: TEM uses electrons as the imaging radiation.

• Wolfgang PauliRelated: The exclusion principle explains how electrons occupy distinct states within atoms.

• Electron degeneracy pressureBroader topic: Electron identity and spin determine which quantum states can be occupied.

• Free radicalNarrower topic: A radical's defining feature is an electron left unpaired in its electronic structure.

• AnodeRelated: Electrons released by oxidation leave the anode through the external circuit.

• LeptonBroader topic: It is the lightest charged lepton and the familiar member of the electron-neutrino family.

• MuonCompared with: The electron shares the muon’s charge and interactions but is far lighter and stable.

• BremsstrahlungRelated: Electrons are common emitters because they accelerate readily in matter’s electric fields.

• Fermi surfaceNarrower topic: The occupied states bounded by a Fermi surface are electron states in a material.

• ReductionNarrower topic: Electron gain is the literal basis of reduction in electron-transfer reactions.

• CathodeBroader topic: Electrons are consumed by reduction reactions at the cathode.

• Field-effect transistorRelated: Electrons are the majority carriers in n-channel field-effect transistors.

• NucleonCompared with: Unlike nucleons, electrons are leptons and are not constituents of the nucleus.

• Sodium ionRelated: The loss of one electron gives sodium its positive charge.

• Spin–statistics theoremBroader topic: Its fermionic statistics produce atomic shell structure and chemical behavior.

• Thermionic emissionNarrower topic: Thermionic emission transports electrons from a solid into surrounding space.

• AtomBroader topic: Electrons occupy the space around the nucleus and govern most chemical interactions.

• Atomic theoryBroader topic: Electron arrangements govern much of an atom’s bonding and chemical behavior.

• Drude modelNarrower topic: The model treats mobile electrons as the charge carriers inside metals.

• AnionBroader topic: Anions have more electrons than protons, giving them their net negative charge.

• Cryo-electron microscopyNarrower topic: Electron beams provide image-forming signals but can also damage biological specimens.

• Electron–hole pairNarrower topic: The electron is the mobile negative member of the pair.

• James ChadwickCompared with: Unlike electrons, neutrons are massive, neutral constituents of atomic nuclei.

• Neutrinoless double beta decayRelated: The two emitted electrons carry the visible energy in the proposed decay.
