Verified step by step guidance

Understand the definition of a subatomic particle: Subatomic particles are particles that are smaller than an atom. They include protons, neutrons, and electrons.

Identify the options given in the problem: Electron, Atom, Compound, Molecule.

Analyze each option: An electron is a subatomic particle, while an atom is composed of subatomic particles. A compound is a substance formed from two or more elements, and a molecule is the smallest unit of a chemical compound.

Recognize that an electron is the only option that fits the definition of a subatomic particle.

Conclude that the correct answer is 'Electron' because it is a subatomic particle, unlike the other options which are larger structures or entities.
