(physics, chemistry) An exotic atom (specifically, an onium) consisting of a positron (antielectron) and an electron, as a particle–anti-particle bound pair with no nucleus.
An electron and positron orbiting around their common centre of mass. An s state has zero angular momentum, so orbiting around each other would mean going straight at each other until the pair of particles is either scattered or annihilated, whichever occurs first. This is a bound quantum state known as positronium.
