The particle you are thinking of is an electron. It is a negatively charged subatomic particle that is found outside the nucleus of an atom, in the electron cloud or outermost energy level.

Answer:

The negatively charged particle in the outermost energy level is called an electron. Electrons are the smallest and most abundant particles in an atom. They have a negative charge and are found in the outermost energy level, or shell, of an atom.
