Elektronových

"Elektronových" is a Czech and Slovak inflected form of the adjective "elektronový," derived from the noun "elektron" (electron). It typically appears in plural constructions and is used attributively to indicate a relation to electrons or electron-based phenomena. In English it is often rendered as "electron..." (as a prefix) or "of electrons" depending on context.

Grammatical role and forms: "elektronových" corresponds to the plural inflection used in cases such as the genitive and locative, where it modifies a plural noun (for example, "elektronových mikroskopů" — "of electron microscopes"). The base adjective "elektronový" has other forms (elektronová, elektronové, elektronový, etc.) that agree in gender, number and case with the noun they qualify.

Usage: The term is common in scientific, technical and academic texts, especially in physics, chemistry, materials science and electronics. Typical collocations include elektronových přechodů (electron transitions), elektronových oblaků (electron clouds), elektronových zařízení (electron-based devices) and elektronových mikroskopů (electron microscopes).

Etymology and pronunciation: Borrowed via scientific vocabulary ultimately from the Greek elektron (amber), "elektronový" is formed by adding the adjectival suffix -ový. Approximate pronunciation in Czech is /ˈɛlɛktronovɪx/ with stress on the first syllable.
