Electrons have a measurable mass, so there has to be matter in them. The weird thing about electrons, though, is that they have no size; i.e., they are point particles. We can assign them a size, but we have to base it on the size of their interaction range since it's impossible to directly measure an electron's size. So how can something with no size be made of matter? That's precisely what all of the hullabaloo surrounding the experiment at CERN, where they're trying to find a particle called the Higgs boson, is all about. There should be results from that experiment soon.

Are electrons a building block of matter?
Electrons are components of all atoms.
Is there electrons in gold?
yes, in fact, electrons are part of all atoms. and, since all matter is made of atoms, all matter has electrons. matter, by the way, is anything that takes up space and has mass.
The state of matter in which electrons have absorbed energy is called?
Excited Electrons
What is the state of matter electrons are electrons are stripped away from the nuclei?
Plasma
How can you say that electrons are present in all types of matter?
All matter is made up of atoms, all atoms have electrons that orbit the nucleus.
What gives matter a charge?
Matter becomes charged when it loses or gains electrons. When an atom is neutral (no charge) it has an equal number of protons and electrons. But when it loses electrons, it becomes positively charged. When it gains electrons, it becomes negatively charged. Hope I helped! :)
Does sulfur contain electrons?
Yes. All matter on Earth contains atoms and thus electrons.
What are protons neutrons and electrons considered?
protons neutrons and electrons are considered tiny parts of matter
How is electricity and matter related?
electricity is made up of electrons which are in all known matter
Does liquid contain protons and electrons?
YES!!! All matter contains protons, neutrons and electrons. These particles are sub-atomic particles, and make up an atom . Atoms then make up all matter.
Which chemical properties of matter come mostly from what?
Electrons
Who discovered that electrons are negatively charge pieces of matter?
i did
