Question

Name the following.

A subatomic particle that carries a negative charge.

Answer 1

• An atom is the smallest particle made up of three subatomic particles, Neutrons, Protons, and Electrons.
• Protons and neutrons are subatomic particles found in the nucleus.
• Positively charged particles are protons. Neutrons are uncharged atoms.
• A cluster of small elementary particles known as electrons surrounds the nucleus. These negatively charged particles are called electrons.
• Each electron is represented by an "e".
• The mass of an electron is negligible as compared to the mass of an atom.
• The charge of each electron is 1.60217663 × 10^-19 C.

Thus the negatively charged subatomic particles surrounding the nucleus are called electrons.
