Electrons

n. negatively charged particle which is a fundamental component of matter and exists independently or outside the nucleus of an atom (Physics, Chemistry)

"e-" redirects here. For the Internet-related prefix e-, see Wiktionary's entry . The electron is a fundamental subatomic particle that carries a negative electric charge. It is a spin-½ lepton that participates in electromagnetic interactions, its mass is approximately 1/1836 of the proton. Together with atomic nuclei (protons and neutrons), electrons make up atoms. Their interaction with adjacent nuclei is the main cause of chemical bonding.

n. electron, negatively charged particle which is a fundamental component of matter and exists independently or outside the nucleus of an atom (Physics, Chemistry)

<electronics> A sub-atomic particle with a negative quantised charge. A flow of electrical current consists of the unidirectional (on average) movement of many electrons. The more mobile electrons are in a given material, the greater it electrical conductance (or equivalently, the lower its resistance).
