Electron Reflection

If I were to describe electrons to my friend I would first start off by telling them the things we already know. We know that electrons have a negative charge (-1). We know they have a very little mass so they are not used when finding the mass in the nucelus. From the video we watched in class we can tell that electrons are very unpredictable and scientists do not know a whole lot about them. We know that electrons can come apart from each other but then be brought back together again.
In reality, electrons cannot be explained. We can make assumptions about them but we do not know the whole, complete truth. Personally, by watching the video it seemed as though the electons splattered on the sheet of paper. Scientists are still trying to figure them out fully, but this is a little of what we do know.
