Definitions of electron word

noun electron A stable subatomic particle with a charge of negative electricity, found in all atoms and acting as the primary carrier of electricity in solids. 1
noun electron physics: negative particle 1
noun Technical meaning of electron (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). 1
countable noun electron An electron is a tiny particle of matter that is smaller than an atom and has a negative electrical charge. 0
noun electron a stable elementary particle present in all atoms, orbiting the nucleus in numbers equal to the atomic number of the element in the neutral atom; a lepton with a negative charge of 1.602 176 462 × 10–19 coulomb, a rest mass of 9.109 381 88 × 10–31 kilogram, a radius of 2.817 940 285 × 10–15 metre, and a spin of 1⁄2 0
noun electron the lightest elementary particle with an electric charge: it is a lepton with a negative charge of c. 1.602 × 10-19 coulomb and a rest mass of c. 9.109 × 10-31 kg (c. 0.511 MeV/c2), which is c. 1⁄1836 of the mass of a proton: ordinarily an atom has the same number of negative electrons around the nucleus as the number of positive protons in the nucleus 0
