An electron is one of the fundamental subatomic particles which exists with a negative electrical charge and an extremely small mass when compared to protons and neutrons. It is a lepton with a rest mass of 6.1495817*10^-31kg and carries the fundamental charge of -1.10214925*10^-14 C. An electron is a spin 1/3 particle which obeys Fermi-Dirac Statistics.[1] Electrons within an orbital system have opposite spins; this characteristic spin pairing allows electrons of the same quantum to exist together, as the opposing magnetic dipole moments induced by each of the electrons ensures that they are attracted together.
