A negatively charged particle outside the nucleus of an atom
Real World Example
Imagine trying to navigate a crowded party where you want to move freely but are constantly aware of staying away from certain people you don't get along with. Just like you at the party, electrons move around the nucleus of an atom while maintaining a certain distance due to their negative charge, which keeps them from getting too close to other negatively charged particles. The party is like the atom, where the people are particles and the space you keep from others due to social tension mirrors the electron's behavior, always maintaining a distance from other electrons due to their mutual repulsion.
