Question:
What do mean by "flow of electron"?
Answer:
Flow of electrons is just what it says - electrons flow down a wire that is what current, is. Good conductors like copper and silver and aluminum have free electrons in their outer shells, and they jump from atom to atom down a wire. It is somewhat similar to water flowing down a pipe.
It's kind of amazing that you can force this to happen with a battery or a magnet, and that you can transfer energy this way, but that's what it does. Source: CoolInterview.com
the 'flow of electron' means current. because the current is defined as 'the rate of chance of electrons with respect to time' Source: CoolInterview.com

The question is ' what is flow of electrons?' not 'what is current?'. Flow of electrons means the direction of movement of electrons either by drift or diffusion; By DRIFT it is meant that flowing of electrons from a positive terminal to negative terminal. & By DIFFUSION it is meant that flow of electrons from higher to lower concentration.
