A
- This diagram is a typical representation of the 3 types of sub atomic particles within an atom.
o Protons (positively charged)
o Neutron (no charge)
o Electrons (negative charge) - Each has specific properties and a location within the atom.
- Atoms have three sub atomic particles
o Protons. These are found in the Nucleus (centre) and are positively charged.
o Neutrons. These are also found in the Nucleus (centre) but have no charge.
o Electrons. These are found on the outside of the atom and are negatively charged.
