Some say it's easier to play with a thinner pick so they start with them. However many later on move to a thicker pick for tone and more control as well as speed. I recommend to anyone who is learning if their goal is a few chords and to be able to strum a few chords to sing with. Fine use a thinner to medium pick to start. However if your goal is to one day play lead guitar, IMO it's easier to start with a medium to heavy (leaning on the heavier side) as it it's easier to start new than changing over later. Least that's the experience witnessed over 50yrs if playing. Sure picks are a personal thing and some great lead players use thin picks , there's always exceptions.

I know nothing about guitar picks. Are these good for some one just starting to learn to play an electric guitar?

I would be some. I am not interested in lead guitar in and of itself. I compose write music as well as record and perform, I focus on rhythm for my playing due to this, but I still prefer thin even when picking. Its really just preference. People play guitar "wrong" all the time and it's awesome when good tunes come out anyway.
