&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;= electrons – negatively charged particles in atoms =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== what is an electron? ==&lt;br /&gt;
An &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;electron&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; is a subatomic particle with a negative electric charge. Electrons are found in orbitals or energy levels surrounding the [[nucleus]] of an [[atom]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== basic properties ==&lt;br /&gt;
* symbol: e⁻  &lt;br /&gt;
* charge: -1  &lt;br /&gt;
* mass: ~1/1836 of a [[proton]]  &lt;br /&gt;
* location: outside the nucleus, in [[electron shells]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== discovery ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[j.j. thomson]] discovered the electron in 1897 using cathode ray tube experiments. This was the first subatomic particle ever identified.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== role of electrons ==&lt;br /&gt;
* Balance the charge of [[protons]] in atoms  &lt;br /&gt;
* Involved in all [[chemical reactions]] and [[bonding]]  &lt;br /&gt;
* Define the [[ion]] state of an atom (e.g., losing or gaining electrons)  &lt;br /&gt;
* Determine the [[electron configuration]] and properties of elements&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== electrons and chemical bonding ==&lt;br /&gt;
Electrons in the outer shell (valence electrons) are key to:&lt;br /&gt;
* [[covalent bonds]]  &lt;br /&gt;
* [[ionic bonds]]  &lt;br /&gt;
* [[metallic bonds]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== electron cloud model ==&lt;br /&gt;
Instead of fixed orbits, modern quantum theory describes electrons as existing in a cloud of probabilities around the [[nucleus]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== see also ==&lt;br /&gt;
* [[protons]]  &lt;br /&gt;
* [[neutrons]]  &lt;br /&gt;
* [[nucleus]]  &lt;br /&gt;
* [[electron configuration]]  &lt;br /&gt;
* [[valence electrons]]  &lt;br /&gt;
* [[j.j. thomson]]&lt;br /&gt;
