Question:
Electrons are negatively charged subatomic particles that orbit the nucleus of an atom. Protons are positively charged subatomic particles that are found in the nucleus of an atom.
The electric charge of an atom is determined by the difference between the number of protons and the number of electrons in the atom. If an atom has more protons than electrons, it has a net positive charge. If an atom has more electrons than protons, it has a net negative charge. If an atom has the same number of protons and electrons, it has a net neutral charge.
A negatively charged particle, such as an electron or an anion, has more electrons than protons. This gives the particle a net negative charge.
