The Electron: Its Isolation and Measurement and the Determination of Some of Its Properties is a seminal work in the field of modern physics, authored by Nobel laureate Robert Andrews Millikan. This foundational text documents the groundbreaking research and experimental techniques used to establish the discrete nature of the electric charge. Central to this work is the detailed explanation of the famous oil-drop experiment, which allowed for the first precise measurement of the elementary charge of the electron.

Millikan provides a comprehensive overview of the atomic nature of electricity, discussing the evolution of electrical theories and the evidence supporting the existence of subatomic particles. The book delves into the determination of the Avogadro constant and the properties of the electron itself, bridging the gap between classical physics and the emerging quantum era. It serves as a meticulous record of scientific discovery, illustrating the rigorous methodology required to observe and quantify the fundamental building blocks of matter.
