Verified step by step guidance1
Recall that an atom is composed of three main types of subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Understand the charge of each particle: protons carry a positive charge, neutrons have no charge (they are neutral), and electrons carry a negative charge.
Note that the nucleus of an atom contains protons and neutrons, but not electrons.
Since the question asks for the subatomic particles with a negative charge, focus on identifying which particle has a negative charge based on their properties.
Conclude that electrons are the subatomic particles that carry a negative charge.
