Electrons
Explanation:
The negatively-charged particles of an atom is called the electron. This is a very important particle in chemistry and physics, especially in the quantum world. It basically "governs" the quantum realm.
It has a mass of approximately
To predict where an electron can be found in an atom, we need to use atomic orbitals and quantum numbers, but I won't be discussing that here.
Here is a picture of a carbon atom with electrons:
