Subatomic particles are particles smaller than the nucleus of an atom, they are located in or surrounding the nucleus of atoms (Protons, neutrons, electrons, plus their antimatter components)
or flying through space (e,g; Neutrinos, photons, leptons, bosons, quarks, gluon, Hadrons, and fermions, and also a few thousand I don't feel like listing)
The charges of the three most common are:
Proton=+1
Neutron=0
Electron=-1
other less common ones include:
Neutrino=0
Up Quark= +.666... (+2/3)
Down Quark=-.33333... (-1/3)
Strange Quark= -0.3333...(-1/3)
Charm Quark=+.66666...(+2/3)
Top Quark=+.666666...(+2/3)
Bottom Quark=-.333333....(-1/3)
