Electron
    

The electron, denoted is a fundamental particle with negative electric charge that is found arranged in quantum mechanical orbits about neutral atoms. The electron is a lepton, and therefore has lepton number 1. The antiparticle of the electron is called the positron.

The electron mass is kg, and the electron charge , where C.
