1. 1正電子

    A positron is a tiny piece of matter, as light as an electron, but with a plus charge instead of a minus one. You can think of it as the electron’s mirror twin. Though actually, it is not just a curiosity in a textbook. When a positron meets an electron, the two disappear and leave a flash of energy; hospitals use that fact in a kind of body scan. It is not a . A is heavy and sits in the middle of an atom. A positron is light, and it is the plus-charged partner of the electron. An American , Carl Anderson, coined the name in 1932 so that people would stop saying antielectron.

組成From positive + -tron (from electron). Coined by American physicist Carl Anderson in 1932 to replace the earlier term antielectron.
