Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Usually in the outer region of an atom are tiny particles called ____, which carry a negative charge.
A
protons
B
neutrons
C
electrons
D
nucleus
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Thomson discovered a negatively charged particle, called the electron. Rutherford proposed that these electrons orbit a positive nucleus. In subsequent experiments, he found that there is a smaller positively charged particle in the nucleus, called a proton.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are three subatomic particles: protons, neutrons and electrons. Two of the subatomic particles have electrical charges: protons have a positive charge while electrons have a negative charge.

Detailed explanation-3: -Thus, The negatively charged particles present in an atom are called electrons.

Detailed explanation-4: -Electrons have a negative electrical charge (-) and move around the nucleus. Electrons are the smallest of these particles. Protons, neutrons, and electrons are all called particles. Empty space in atoms.

Detailed explanation-5: -An electron is a negatively charged subatomic particle that can be either bound to an atom or free (not bound). An electron that is bound to an atom is one of the three primary types of particles within the atom–the other two are protons and neutrons. Together, electrons, protons and neutrons form an atom’s nucleus.
