Which subatomic particles are negatively charged?

Protons
Neutrons
Isotopes
Electrons

The correct answer is: Electrons

Electrons are the subatomic particles that are negatively charged. They are fundamental components of an atom and are found in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus, which contains protons and neutrons. The negative charge of electrons balances the positive charge of protons, resulting in an electrically neutral atom when the number of protons equals the number of electrons. The presence of electrons is crucial for chemical bonding and reactions, as they participate in interactions between atoms. Understanding the charge of subatomic particles is fundamental in various scientific fields, including chemistry and physics, as it helps explain how atoms interact and form molecules.
