Solution

  • An atom is the smallest particle made up of three subatomic particles, Neutrons, Protons, and Electrons.
  • Protons and neutrons are subatomic particles found in the nucleus.
  • Positively charged particles are protons. Neutrons are uncharged atoms.
  • A cluster of small elementary particles known as electrons surrounds the nucleus. These negatively charged particles are called electrons.
  • Each electron is represented by an "e".
  • The mass of an electron is negligible as compared to the mass of an atom.
  • The charge of each electron is 1.60217663 × 10-19 C.

Thus the negatively charged subatomic particles surrounding the nucleus are called electrons.
