What particles move around the nucleus of an atom and are negatively charged?
-
- Electrons
- Protons
- Positrons
- Neutrons
- Electrons
Correct Option: A
Circling around outside the nucleus are tiny little particles called electrons. Electrons have a negative charge. Electrons spin as they circle the nucleus billions of times every second. They are arranged in energy levels around the nucleus. When electrons gain or lose energy, they jump between energy levels as they are rotating around the nucleus.
