What is the specific formula of the electron ( not a symbol)? - 08-16-2006, 10:41 AM

Very simple question:
What is the specific formula of the electron ( not a symbol)?

1.
e-
2.
electrons donot have formulas
but have charge which is expressed by e and
unit is coulombs. e=1.6*10^-19.
or for mass comparing with proton
(mass of electron=(1/1836) *mass of proton).
3.
The formula for what? the speed? the densiity?
Be more specific.
If you just mean the symbol it is (e-)
4.
(A very stupid question indeed!)
What does one really mean by the formula for an electron?
If u mean symbol, then the answer could be e-
5.
Time-independent Schrodinger wave equation
in one dimension for an electron is:

d^2 Ô/ dx^2 = - (2m/h^2)[E - U(x)] Ô(x)
6.
Not simple, you are actually right,
expecting even an electron to have a formula.
But the very behaviour of a simple electron can
constitute a formula occupying miles in paperwork.
If one day we work out that formula,
even to some approximation,
then a true window called science has opened to us.
