Did JJ Thomson know about Eugen Goldstein’s experiment discovering canal rays?
We learn that JJ Thomson discovered the electron in 1897. Several years EARLIER in 1886, Eugen Goldstein performs the same experiment but with the anode and cathode switched to produce positively ...

What will the correct value of spin quantum number for last electron of Na+ ion?
Electronic configuration of $Na^+$ ion is $1s^2,2s^2,2p^6,3s^0$.
I have noticed usually , we take spin quantum number as +1/2 first & then -1/2.
So , like for the above Q:It is for first 3e=+1/2 &...

What will happen if electron as a wave undergo destructive interference while travelling in its Orbit?
Today I came across a justification of Bohr's angular momentum quantization using the De- Broglie's hypothesis.
The justification said that since the electrons are having wave nature also then while ...

The existence of a principal quantum level or energy shell after the loss of an electron from the outer shell of an atom
With the loss of an electron from $\ce{Li}$ ($\mathrm{1s^2\ 2s^1}$), we get $\ce{Li+}$ ($\mathrm{1s^2}$), then the 2nd shell where the electron had been revolving in $\ce{Li}$ will get disappeared or ...
