An electron is a small negatively-charged particle, ordinarily part of the outer works of an atom but sometimes separate, as in a cathode-ray tube. Metals have various shells of electrons; the outermost such shell, which has many separate energy levels so closely spaced that they are basically indistinguishable, is the conduction band, and applying a small potential difference at the ends of a metal wire will cause some of these electrons to flow as a current.

stable question and nicely stated. electrical energy is greater approximately shifting capability than electrons. you need to have seen steel balls one against the different. whilst one end is struck, the final ball interior the string strikes on the instant. in the event that they have been in a tube, forcing a ball in one end could result right now in a ball popping out the different end. comparable with electrons in a conductor. The voltage source applies capability at one end of the circuit and attracts capability out the different end . No return direction, no circuit, no capability flow.

Just a guess. Current electrons provide continuence or conflfuence between protons and neutrons. Conductor electrons provide for genetic mutation.

The electron is a fundamental subatomic particle that carries an electric charge. It is a spin-½ lepton that participates in electromagnetic interactions, and its mass is less than one thousandth of that of the smallest atom. Its electric charge is defined by convention to be negative, with a value of −1 in atomic units. Together with atomic nuclei, electrons make up atoms; their interaction with adjacent nuclei is the main cause of chemical bonding.

electrons are the negative ions which are present in the orbits of an atom.
current elactrons are those whaich produce current
conductor electrons are those which allow the current to pass through it
