bound electron
subject			fact

bound electron	has definition Zone in which the electron in atoms reside. Its radius is determined by the quantum principle, its population by the exclusion principle.
	is a kind of electron
electron	has antiparticle positron
	has charge -1
	is a part of element
lepton	has spin 1/2
charged particle	is accelerated by electric or magnetic fields
fermion	has quantum behavior Fermi-Dirac statistics
	obeys exclusion principle
particle	obeys uncertainty principle
	has frequency inversely proportional to the wavelength
	has wavelength inversely proportional to its momentum
	has mass
physical object	has location or center of gravity
	has angular momentum
	has velocity
	has momentum
	has temperature
	has volume
	has extent
	has material

Kinds of bound electron :

• d-electron (3 facts) - An orbital electron whose l quantum number is 2.
• f-electron (3 facts) - An orbital electron whose l quantum number is 3.
• K electron (3 facts) - An electron in the K shell, the innermost shell, or energy level, of an atom. All elements heavier than hydrogen have a filled K shell, which consists of two 1s electrons orbiting the nucleus.
• p-electron (3 facts) - An orbital electron whose l quantum number is 1.
• s-electron (3 facts) - An orbital electron whose l quantum number is zero.
