An electron is a subatomic particle that orbits around the nucleus of an atom. There is usually the same number as the number of protons; if not then the atom is known as an ion. Electrons have a mass of almost nothing compared to protons and neutrons, and have a negative charge. The antimatter equivalent of an electron is a positron.
Chlorophyll gives off high energy electrons that are picked up by other molecules. Julian Bashir told Goran'Agar this in 2372 to give Chief Miles O'Brien time to create a plasma charge. (DS9: "Hippocratic Oath")
A message communicated to Counselor Troi was the phase: "One moon circles." Upon further investigation, with the assistance of Data, they were able to determine that that phrase was in reference to the hydrogen atom, where "one electron circles one proton." (TNG: "Night Terrors")
