    Ground state and stationary states

    Can you please explain the difference between ground state and stationary state? In the stationary state, are the electrons at rest inside the atom?

    Mass of Electron: Relativity & Its Definite Mass

    By normal mass I meant the way of measurement of mass that I use in everyday life. I now know that I meant rest mass. Sorry for being so unscientific :( I'm kinda new here. Now, according to you guys, an electron orbiting an atom will have a huge mass. (this is what happens in an atom, if I'm...

    Mass of Electron: Relativity & Its Definite Mass

    What is the difference between rest mass and normal mass? Even if an electron moves at near light speed, wouldn't we get a huge value for its mass, rather than a really small value like 9.1x10^-31?

    Mass of Electron: Relativity & Its Definite Mass

    If an electron moves at light speed, how do we know that it has a definite mass(9.1 x 10^-31kg)? According to relativity, shouldn't its mass be infinite?
