Question

Name the subatomic particles present in an atom. Name the particles present in the nucleus of an atom?

Answer 1

• Atoms are the building blocks of matter.
• Atoms are made up of 3 subatomic particles which are electrons, protons, and neutrons.
• Electrons are negatively charged, protons are positively charged and neutrons are neutral in nature.
• Every atom consists of a positive center known as the nucleus. Most of the mass and charge of an atom are concentrated at the nucleus of an atom.
• Protons and neutrons are present inside the nucleus.
• The electrons are revolving around the nucleus in a definite circular path known as orbit or shells.
