Recall the fundamental properties of subatomic particles, specifically the electron, proton, and neutron.
Understand that the electron is a subatomic particle found outside the nucleus of an atom.
Remember that the proton carries a positive charge, the neutron is neutral (no charge), and the electron carries a charge opposite to the proton.
Identify that the electron carries a negative electric charge, which balances the positive charge of the proton in a neutral atom.
Conclude that the type of electric charge carried by an electron is negative.
