Electrons are one component of atoms - and atoms always exist unless they are the heavier radioactive kind. In this case, things like Uranium will break down into atoms of other elements - due to the loss of electrons. Although the two are often confused - an electron is not solid in the sense that the atoms are. It's beyond the scope of this site to explain how they all work but suffice to say that scientists believe electrons only get swapped out to other atomic substances - not dying but merely being transferred.

Yes. This is where most QM professionals freak out and try hard to deny this phenom. But the simple answer is indeed, "Yes". Keeping us in a state of wonder and hungry to explore the world of possibilities this fact opens up, even if it means RE-thinking what we THOUGHT we already knew about matter. Hence the purpose and beauty of the science.

Electrons do exist and are found outside the nucleus of an atom.
