Electrons

Electrons are subatomic particles. They are one of the three subatomic particles alongside protons and neutrons that make up an atom. Neutrons and protons are found in the nucleus of an atom, making up an atoms atomic weight, while electrons are found in the electron cloud. The electron cloud surrounds the nucleus of an atom and alongside the number of protons is indicative of the atomic number of an atom. Electrons are the main mechanisms of molecular interactions being either transferred or share respectively in ionic and covalent bonds to create molecules. Electrons have a negative charge when to compared to other subatomic particles. They as are found in different orbitals that make up the electron cloud.
