What is the noun for electrons?

What's the noun for electrons? Here's the word you're looking for.

electronics
  1. (physics) The study and use of electrical devices that operate by controlling the flow of electrons or other electrically charged particles.
  2. (plural) A device or devices which require the flow of electrons through conductors and semiconductors in order to perform their function; devices that operate on electrical power (battery or outlet);
  3. Electronic circuitry.
  4. Synonyms:
  5. Examples:
    1. “A fully electronic unit, it consists of a wide, flat strip that extends into the tank, topped by a cap housing the electronics.”
      “Strong growth is also expected in the liquid crystal display driver market and in application-specific devices for consumer electronics.”
      “Even after 30 years, Budd's mighty wah-wah guitar and lounge-lizard electronics still sound cutting-edge groovy.”
electron
  1. (physics) The subatomic particle having a negative charge and orbiting the nucleus; the flow of electrons in a conductor constitutes electricity.
  2. (chemistry) Alloys of magnesium and other metals, like aluminum or zinc, that were manufactured by the German company Chemische Fabrik Griesheim-Elektron.
  3. Synonyms:
  4. Examples:
    1. “The electron is a fundamental particle in the field of physics.”
      “Amplification cannot take place without a population inversion because when an electron is at rest, it absorbs energy.”
      “You can take away the electron and make an ion, but you can't take away any neutrons.”
electronegativity
  1. the tendency, or a measure of the ability, of an atom or molecule to attract electrons and thus form bonds
  2. Examples:
    1. “The electronegativity is lower for a given oxidation state in an anion than it is in a neutral molecule.”
      “The relative magnitudes of the molecular dipoles can be explained by the relative electronegativity differences of the atoms forming the bonds.”
      “In a covalent diatomic molecule, a difference in the electronegativity of the atoms will result in a dipole moment.”
electronation
  1. (chemistry) The transfer of an electron to a neutral molecule to form an anion
electronicist
  1. One who works with electronics.
electronification
  1. The process of electronifying.
electronegativities
  1. plural of electronegativity
  2. Examples:
    1. “The electrostatic theory suggests that adhesion is the result of differences in the electronegativities of adhering materials.”
      “For instance, electronegativities in the halide sequence fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine decrease from fluorine through iodine.”
      “Notably, caesium and fluorine have the lowest and highest electronegativities, respectively, among all the known elements.”
electronations
  1. plural of electronation
electronicists
  1. plural of electronicist
electrons
  1. plural of electron
  2. Synonyms:
  3. Examples:
    1. “As they moved closer to the nucleus, the electrons would begin emitting their quanta of energy as light.”
      “The origin of this destructive phenomenon is a quantum-mechanical interaction between the spins of the electrons and the atomic magnetic moments.”
      “Surrounding it is a cloud of electrons, which are small, light subatomic particles with a negative charge.”
