Can I change the categorization of a question after I have written an answer?

After I wrote this answer: What is in the clouds of negatively charged particles that surrounds an atom?
I noticed it was under biology instead of physics. But now that I've answered it, the only option under Edit Question is to report it; I can't change the wording or topic.

No.

Explanation:

Regular contributors cannot edit questions after they have been answered, only mods can do that.

We don't want contributors, mainly newcomers, to be able to mess with the wording of a question after someone has already provided an answer.

That is why regular contributors can only edit unanswered questions.

The same goes for the person who asked the question--once they received an answer, they can no longer change the wording of the question.

I went ahead and moved your question to

Chemistry #-># Matter #-># Basic Atomic Structure

but let me know if you want me to move it to another subject/topic.
