and + e, + 2e, + 3e, ........, if positively charged. In other words, a charged body (or a particle) cannot possess charge, which is a fraction of + e. This experimental fact is called the quantization of charge or discrete nature of charge. The fact that the charge on a body or a particle is always some integral multiple of a smallest unit of charge (+1.6 x 10-19 coulomb i.e. charge on a proton or an electron) is known as quantization of charge. The quantization or discrete nature of charge cannot be explained

''Hydrogen Atom: Diameter .... 1/200,000,000) inch Weight ... 164/100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,0 gram Electron: Diameter 1/500,000,000,000,0 inch Speed ... 1,300 miles per second Weight .... 1/2,000 of the weight of the hydrogen atom. Proton:
Diameter .... about ten times that of the electron.
Weight ..... that of the hydrogen atom. The central positive charge of electricity, the nucleus, has a diameter only about a ten-thousand of that of the atom and practically all the mass of the atom risides in it. The diameter of an atom is one part out of twenty crore parts of an inch. The lightest atom is that of hydrogen having (Hydrogen is the gas which is evolved by dissolving zinc in sulphuric acid and on account of its lightness is used in filling toy balloons and also bigger ones. Water is a compound of hydrogen and oxygen) a mass only one-quadrillionth (1 followed by 24 ciphers) part of one masha (gramme) while the mass of an electron is even two thousandth part of this. The diameter of an electron is five - billionth (1 followed by 12 ciphers is a billion) part of an inch which is about 2,500 millionth part of the diameter of human hair. In an eight-mile molecule the electrons are only 8 inches in diameter. These electrons revolve round the nucleus several quadrillion times per second with a speed of 1,300 miles per second. (The concentrated electric charge in the centre of an atoms is called the nucleus.) All these figures tend to show that
