Solution
Electron is experimentally found to possess a negative charge. There is no reason why electron is negative and positron is positive. A particle that existed in nature with electronic charge equal to -1.6 X 10^-19 Coulomb and mass 9.1 X 10^-31 Kg was termed to be an electron by the scientists.
