The history of science provides many examples of this combination of analogy and innovation in the creation of models which were useful in generating theories.4 The «Bohr model» of the atom, in which «planetary» electrons revolve in orbits around a central nucleus, resembles the solar system in certain of its dynamical properties; but the key assumption of quantum jumps between orbits had no classical parallel at all.

An antimatter nucleus is negative instead of positive, and it is orbited by positrons, electrons that are positive instead of negative.

But unlike household magnets, quantum mechanics dictates that two electrons circling a nucleus in the same orbit of an atom must be either completely aligned or completely misaligned; there is no in - between.

Ionizing radiation is a type of particle radiation in which an individual particle (for example, a photon, electron, or helium nucleus) carries enough energy to ionize an atom or molecule (that is, to completely remove an electron from its orbit).
