Electrons and down quarks have negative charge, as do strange and bottom quarks, along with muons and taus.
An atom that carries an electric charge is called an ion, not a neutron. Neutrons are subatomic particles found in the nucleus of atoms that have no charge. Ions are formed when atoms gain or lose electrons, resulting in a net positive or negative charge.
Neutrons are subatomic particles that do not have an electric charge. They are found in the nucleus of atoms along with protons and have a neutral charge.
A proton is a subatomic particle and is considered to be a form of matter. It is one of the building blocks of atoms and carries a positive electric charge.
An electron is a subatomic particle that carries a negative electric charge and is found in the outer shells of atoms. Electrons play a key role in determining the chemical properties of an element and are involved in various physical and chemical processes, such as electricity and magnetism.
