The electron is an essential subatomic particle that carries a negative electric charge. It is a spin-½ lepton that partakes in electromagnetic connections, and its mass is below one thousandth of that of the smallest atom. Its electric charge is clear by convention to be negative, with a charge of -1 in atomic unit. Jointly with atomic nuclei, electrons make up atoms; their interaction with adjoining nuclei is the most important cause of chemical bonding.

The electron is in the class of subatomic particles called leptons, which are believed to be basic particles. As with every particle, electrons are able to act as waves. This is called the wave-particle duality; as well known by the term complementarily coined by Niles Bohr and can be established using the double-slit experiment.
