Answer:
Charge quantization is the principle that the charge of any object is an integer multiple of the elementary charge. Thus, an object's charge can be exactly 0 e, or exactly 1 e, −1 e, 2 e, etc., but not, say, 12 e, or −3.8 e, etc.
Quantization of charge means that when we say something has a given charge, we mean that that is how many times the charge of a single electron it has. ... So electrons have a a negative charge, negative charge.
