Verified step by step guidance

Identify the structure of an atom: An atom consists of a nucleus, which contains protons and neutrons, and electrons that orbit the nucleus.

Understand the location of subatomic particles: Protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus, while electrons are found in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus.

Recognize the role of electrons: Electrons are negatively charged particles that occupy energy levels or shells around the nucleus, and they are the subatomic particles located farthest from the nucleus.

Differentiate between the subatomic particles: Protons are positively charged, neutrons have no charge, and electrons are negatively charged. Quarks are not subatomic particles of atoms but are components of protons and neutrons.

Conclude that the subatomic particles located farthest from the nucleus are electrons, as they are found in the outermost regions of the atom's electron cloud.
