electron: A stable elementary particle which has an indivisible charge of negative electricity, is a constituent of all atoms, and is the carrier of electric current in solids ... 5, record 2, English, - negative%20electron

negaton; negatron: The ordinary, i.e. negatively charged, electron (as distinct from the positron). 5, record 2, English, - negative%20electron
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Both positive and negative electrons reside together within the atom, and are complementary to one another. Recently the name proton has been suggested for the positive electron, so as to distinguish it from the negative electron. We will so refer to it in this essay, and will apply the word electron only to the negative particle. 6, record 2, English, - negative%20electron
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Beta particles are high-velocity electrons (negatively charged) or positrons (positively charged). They are about one ten-thousandth the mass of an alpha particle and consequently can penetrate tissue and material more readily; an average energy beta particle can penetrate about one centimetre of tissue or water. 2, record 2, English, - negative%20electron
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Nowadays, the word "electron" alone is used in the sense of "negative electron", this latter term being redundant. 7, record 2, English, - negative%20electron
