∙ 11y agoThere is nothing that "causes" electrons to repel.
It is a law of nature that particles with like charges repel.
Electrons have negative charge, hence there is a repulsive force.

What is the subatomic particles that electrons repel?
1) what is electron? 2) what is matter? 3) structure of atom?
Do electrons repel each other within the same atom?
no
When two objects each have more electrons than protons are brought close to each other they will blank each other?
Repel, because like charges repel each other
Do electrons repel one another?
yes. all particles with like charges repel each other.
Why are a molecule atoms as far away from each other as they can get?
The negative charges of their electrons repel each other.
Would 2 protons attract or repel each other?
"Opposites attract". So two electrons repel each other.
What will two electrons do?
Repel each other
Why do sets of electrons repel each other?
they carry same charge thus repel as opposites attract each other

Do two electrons following parallel tracks attract each other?
Each electron has a single negative charge. Objects with like charges repel each other. Therefore two electrons following parallel tracks will repel, not attract, each other.
Why are a molecule atoms as far away from each other as they can get?
The negative charges of their electrons repel each other.
Why are a molecule's atoms as far away from each other as they get?
The negative charges of their electrons repel each other.
Why are a molecule's atom as far away from each other as they can get?
The negative charges of their electrons repel each other.
The VSEPR theory is based on the idea that pairs of electrons each other?
Repel
