I know that a positively charged electron is called a positron, but is there such thing as a negatively charged proton?

A positivey charged subatomic ion is a proton which is in the nucleus

A negitively charged subatomic ion is an electon which is found outside the nucleus in the electron cloud

A neutral subatomic ion is a neutron which is also in the nucleus

Answer:

There is no such thing as a negatively charged proton

Step-by-step explanation:

A positively charged particle inside the atom is called a proton. and a negatively charged particle is called electron. Both the particles have same charged magnitude but their effect is different. Electron behaves negatively while proton positively. There are many subatomic particles. A positron is the anti-particle of an electron. It has the same mass as the electron, but a positive charge. But there is no such thing as a negatively charged proton.
