How come electrons don't repel each other?

Question

since like charges repel each other...

Answer 1

Actually they do! It is just that their repulsion forces cannot overcome the attractive forces to the protons in the nucleus. If you notice the orientation of electrons, they are as far away to each other as possible.
When there comes to a point where it can overcome each electron's attraction to its proton, the whole atom becomes an "ion" which is negatively charged

Answer 2

They do and they do not. What level of complexity can you handle for an answer?

Electrons are not little hard balls of matter with a charge. In the typical atom, they are best visioned as as a cloud surrounding the nucleus. This exact nature of the cloud depends upon the number of electrons and how the cloud is organized.

The layers and shapes of the clouds is what keeps the electrons away from each other in a single atom. These clouds change in nature and shape if the atoms combined to form compounds, either ionic or covalent in nature.

The electron cloud of one atom interacting with the electron cloud of another is the reason why solid materials do no really "touch" one another. The clouds repel one another.

Answer 3

They do repel each other but they are more attracted to the protons in the nucleus so the electrons don't go somewhere else.

Answer 4

They do repel each other. That is why they spin around the whole nucleus, they dont congregate. They do have opposite spins however, so left and right spin are somewhat attracted to each other, actually they only balance each other out. That has to do with magnetism

Answer 5

With their negative charge they repel each other.
With their anti parallel spin they attract each other.

Answer 6

but electrons do repel eachother b/c of opp charge...

Answer 7

they do actually, that's why they have separate orbitals on different axis to maximize the distance between them

Answer 8

They are both negative...
