1. A stable elementary particle that is a primary constituent of ordinary matter, contained in the atoms of all elements.
3. A negatively charged elementary particle that has a specific charge, mass, and spin.
Electrons flowing in a conductor constitute an electric current.
2. A negative beta particle emitted from a radioactive substance.3. A negatively charged elementary particle that has a specific charge, mass, and spin.
The number of electrons associated with the nucleus of an atom is equal to the atomic number of the substance.
4. A sub-atomic particle with a negative beta particle emitted from a radioactive substance.A flow of electrical current consi that are in a given material, the greater its electrical conductance (or equivalently, the lower its resistance).
Electrons are the primary charge carriers in electric currents.
All atoms have electrons arranged around a nucleus and an electron may be positive (positron), but as the term is generally used, it refers to the negative form (negatron).
