Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which subatomic particle has a negative charge?
A
Protons
B
Neutrons
C
Electrons
D
Nucleus
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Electrons are referred to as negative because of their behavior in an electric field. In an electric field, an electron will move from the negative pole to the positive pole, giving it a negative charge by convention.

Detailed explanation-3: -Protons are found in the nucleus of the atom. This is a tiny, dense region at the center of the atom. Protons have a positive electrical charge of one (+1) and a mass of 1 atomic mass unit (amu), which is about 1.67×10−27 kilograms.
