The correct option is A True
An atom is the smallest unit of matter that retains all of the chemical properties of an element. Most atoms contain all three of these types of subatomic particles-protons, neutrons and electrons. In the center of an atom, a tiny nucleus is present which contains protons and neutrons, and electrons orbit around the nucleus.
