The outcome of recent investigations into the properties of matter has been to show that the atom, in all probability, consists of a positive nucleus surrounded by electrons. The distribution of the electrons round the positive nucleus is controlled by the attraction of the positive nucleus on the electrons and by the repulsion of the electrons for each other. Sir J. J. Thomson and others have investigated mathematically and experimentally the laws governing such a distribution, on the assumption that the electrons are stationary in relation to each other and to the positive nucleus.
