Verified step by step guidance1
Recall the three main subatomic particles found in an atom: protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Understand the electric charge associated with each particle: protons carry a positive charge, neutrons have no charge (neutral), and electrons carry a negative charge.
Identify that the question asks specifically for the particle with a negative electric charge.
Match the negative charge to the electron, as it is the only subatomic particle among the options that carries a negative charge.
Conclude that the electron is the subatomic particle with a negative electric charge.
