An electron is a negatively charged particle. Proton is a positively charged particle. Neutron is neutral in nature.
Electrons are revolved around the nucleus. Protons are present in the nucleus. Neutrons are present in the nucleus.
Electrons attracted towards positive charge. Proton attracted towards the negative charge. Neutrons do not get attracted, as they are neutral.
Electrons are represented by e^-. Protons are represented by p. Neutrons are represented by n.
