Smoke is mostly buoyant carbonaceous material resulting from a combustion reaction. Smoke is matter, just as is the air that is buoying it up. All matter consists of "electric particles" in the atoms, but I am not sure exactly what you are asking. You would have to be more specific.

Smoke is made up of tiny, tiny particles of burnt material of whatever is on fire. As to the electrical particles - if you mean are there electrically charged particles, you can find out by putting a magnet into the smoke. If the smoke reacts, then yes, there are charged particles there.

The ash in a fire is buoyant. The heat rising from the combustion lifts the ash into the air. This is smoke.
Electricity is made from electrons, and surely there are electrons in the ash, but not in the form of electricity.

Smoke is a result of fire and fire is combustion. The combustion reaction is shown as Carbon matter + Oxygen Gas ---> Carbon Dioxide and water plus broken down carbon matter. This is what gets lifted into the air by the heat of the fire (Heat rises) along with vapor (Water) and Carbon Dioxide...

normally ash, CO2 and other gases. there aren't any charged particles persay
