Electron Interaction

Electron interaction refers to the way electrons, which are subatomic particles with negative charge, influence each other through electromagnetic forces. Electrons repel each other because like charges repel, but they can also be attracted to positively charged particles like protons. These interactions are fundamental to how atoms hold together and how electricity flows. In atoms, electrons move within regions called orbitals, and their interactions help determine an atom's chemical properties. Understanding electron interactions is key to explaining many physical and chemical phenomena, such as bonding, electrical conductivity, and the behavior of materials at the atomic level.
