An electron repels another electron because they both have a negative charge. Like charges repel each other due to the fundamental principle of 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 type of particle will an electron repel?

An electron will repel another negatively charged particle due to the electrostatic force of like charges repelling each other. This includes other electrons as they both possess a negative charge. Additionally, an electron will also experience a repulsive force from any negatively charged ions or atoms.

Why do electron clouds repel?

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?
