Definition of Electrons

Having known the mass and charge on an electron, it can be defined as a subatomic particle which bears mass equal to 0.0005493 amu (which is taken to be equal to zero) and negative charge equal to-1 on it. In other words an electron is a mass less particle which bears one unit of negative charge on it. An electron is indicated as -10e where zero indicates that it has no mass and -1 stands to show how the presence of one unit of negative charge on it.
