The subatomic particle that carries a negative charge is the:

Answer: electron.

  • A proton
  • B neutron
  • C electron
  • D positron

Correct answer: C. electron

Explanation: The electron carries a unit negative charge; the proton is positive and the neutron is neutral.

NK (n=1)L (n=2)M (n=3)

Bohr's model: electrons occupy fixed circular shells (K, L, M) around the nucleus, with each shell holding up to 2n2 electrons.

Concept context

Explore how electrons are arranged inside an atom. Covers Bohr's model, quantum numbers, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, shapes of s, p, d orbitals, and electronic configuration rules.
