Verified step by step guidance1
Recall the fundamental properties of subatomic particles, specifically electrons, protons, and neutrons.
Understand that electrons are one of the three main particles that make up atoms, along with protons and neutrons.
Remember that protons carry a positive charge, neutrons carry no charge (neutral), and electrons carry a charge opposite to that of protons.
Since protons are positively charged, electrons must carry the opposite charge, which is negative.
Therefore, the type of electric charge carried by electrons is negative.
