Question

How atoms is divided and how it can be further identified...???

Answer 1

Dear student,
I appreciate your curiosity. I have given a brief description below. You'll learn more in higher classes.

Atoms are made up of three particles: protons, neutrons and electrons — which are composed of even smaller particles such as quarks.

Protons and neutrons are heavier than electrons and reside in the nucleus at the center of the atom. Electrons are extremely lightweight and exist in a cloud orbiting the nucleus. The electron cloud has a radius 10,000 times greater than the nucleus.

Protons and neutrons have approximately the same mass. However, one proton weighs more than 1,800 electrons. Atoms always have an equal number of protons and electrons, and the number of protons and neutrons is usually the same as well. Adding a proton to an atom makes a new element, while adding a neutron makes an isotope, or heavier version, of that atom.
