electron
Tiny charged orbiter
An electron is a subatomic particle carrying a negative electric charge.
Electrons orbit the nucleus of an atom and are fundamental to chemical bonding, electricity, and magnetism.
In everyday contexts, electron appears in compounds: electron microscope, electronics, free electron.
The flow of electrons through a conductor is electric current.
