1 Electrons-Subatomic particle that has almost no weight and carries a negative charge; orbits in a shell about the nucleus of an atom. 2  Neutrons-Subatomic particle that has a weight of one atomic mass unit, carries no charge, and is found in the nucleus of an atom.
A negative charge is built up on a conductor that has more electrons than normal, and a positive charge is (by comparison) built up on a conductor that has fewer electrons than normal. The positive terminal still has lots of electrons, orbiting the atoms of the solid metal, but has a net balance of more protons in the nuclei of those atoms than electrons.
