Answer:


\boxed {\boxed {\sf Electrons}}

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 3 major subatomic particles:

Proton

  • Located in the nucleus

Neutron

  • Located in the nucleus

Electron

  • Surrounding the nucleus in orbitals

Two (protons and neutrons) of the three particles are found in the nucleus of an atom. Electrons are not, they are surrounding the nucleus.
