Yes, electron clouds have a negative charge. The electrons make up electron clouds (naturally) and the electron carries a negative electrostatic charge. Since electrons carry a negative electrostatic charge, and, by a fundamental principle of electrostatics like charges repel each other, the electrons don't like each other. That's one of the guiding principles behind electron spin and the structure of electron orbitals in chemistry and biochemistry. The big fat positive charge on the nucleus captures the electrons, but the electrons have to decide amongst themselves how they're gonna get along out in the electron shells. And they do. Is it any wonder that electron shell structures rule most of chemistry?

∙ 14y agoNo, because electron clouds all contain electrons, which are negatively charged, and so two negative charges repel.

∙ 12y agoThey carry the same charge (Negative), and so, repel each other.

Is so3 trigonal planar?
YES it is. This is because there are 3 electron clouds around the central Sulfur atom. These clouds repel each other as far apart as possible (120 degrees) because electron clouds are negative and like charges repel. All three of these are bonded so the overall shape is trigonal planar.
Is a region in which there is a good chance of finding an electron?
in the electron clouds of an atom

Does an electron attract another electron?
No, they repel each other.
What will an electron do if placed near another electron?
The two electrons will repel one another, through the electrostatic force.

Why electron doesn't replel in an orbit?
Electron doesn't repel in an orbit however they are same charged particle, but same charged particles always repel. This is due Meson's theory of charged particles, he says electrons doesn't repel because they have one orbital different and another different.
What is an effect of electrostatic forces inside the nucleus?
protons and neutrons repel each other. The protons in the nucleus repel each other...APEX
