Electron

An electron is a basic constituent of matter: the latter is formed of atoms, which are each composed of a nucleus around which a cloud of electrons gravitates. The electrons are distributed in successive layers around a nucleus, with each layer representing a different state of energy. The electron transports the electrical current.
