the electrons
When a particle loses electrons, it becomes positively charged due to having more protons than electrons. Conversely, if a particle gains electrons, it becomes negatively charged as it has more electrons than protons. This imbalance in charge leads to the formation of a charged particle.
Electrons exhibit both particle-like and wave-like behavior, known as wave-particle duality.
