The electron (symbol: e−

) is a subatomic particle with a negative elementary electric charge. It has no known components or substructure; in other words, it is generally thought to be an elementary particle. An electron has a mass that is approximately1/1836 that of the proton.

What sub atomic particles get involved in chemical bonding?

The subatomic particles that are involved in chemical bonding are electrons. Electrons are responsible for forming bonds between atoms by being shared, gained, or lost. Protons and neutrons do not directly participate in chemical bonding.
