Recall that atoms are composed of three main subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Understand the charge of each particle: protons carry a positive charge, neutrons have no charge (neutral), and electrons carry a negative charge.
Recognize that the overall charge of an atom depends on the balance between protons and electrons.
Since electrons are the only subatomic particles with a negative charge, they are responsible for the negative charge in an atom.
Therefore, the subatomic particle responsible for the negative charge in an atom is the electron.
