The gravitational force is way weaker than the forces that involve electrons. The repulsive force between electrons can be seen if you do this experiment: jump off a tall building. It will take gravity a few seconds to get you moving at a good clip, but the repulsive forces between the electrons in your body and those in the concrete below will stop you in a tiny fraction of a second.

The force of gravity depends upon the masses of the objects. Electrons and atomic particles have such small masses gravity has a negligible effect on their behavior under ordinary conditions. Electromagnetic forces and quantum mechanics determine the behavior of atomic and subatomic particles.

yes but the absolute force is very small because the mass is very small. Also electrons when removed from atoms tend to be very energised. Lightning is a good example.
Electrons have a mass of 9.11 Ã 10â31 kg (wiki)
electron mass
Value 9.109 3826 x 10-31 kg
Standard uncertainty 0.000 0016 x 10-31 kg
Relative standard uncertainty 1.7 x 10-7
Concise form 9.109 3826(16) x 10-31 kg

Yes, if it didn't they'd be flying out of black holes. The reason the don't all fall to the floor is that they would if only gravity was affecting them, but they act more like a gas due to other more significant forces, mainly electrical attraction or repulsion.

Yes, gravity is affecting everything in the universe. This is based on Einstein theory of relativity. Gravity affect all the fields, elementary particles, time and space.

Electon has mass and hence it is affected by gravity.
The force of attraction between two electrons situated one milli meter away is 6 x10^(-65) newton.

Yes, of course .. gravity affects all matter ( it effects it too ).
Thanks for your intellegent question.
