Subject is a kind of has definition

electron charged particle Light elementary particle with a negative electrical charge. Electrons are found in shells surrounding the nuclei of atoms; their interactions with the electrons of neighboring atoms create the chemical bonds that link atoms together as molecules.

beta-particle electron Particles first discovered in radioactive β decay - later identified as electrons.
