Best Answer

Atoms contain positively charged nucleus at the centre and negatively charged electrons revolving around the nucleus.

The nucleus consists of positively charged protons and neutral neutrons.

All atoms except positron (an isotope of hydrogen) have atleast one neutron.

Absolutely. Atoms are composed of three types of sub-atomic particles, which are protons, neutrons, and electrons. And the protons and neutrons are themselves composed of quarks.

Protons and neutrons are believed to be made up of smaller particles, namely quarks. So far, it seems that an electron is truly elementary, i.e., not made up of smaller particles.

Why was Dalton's model of the atom changed after Thomson's experiment?

John Dalton's atomic theory indicated that atoms were indivisible spheres. When JJ Thomson did his work with cathode ray tubes, he discovered that atoms contain electrons, which meant that the atom is not indivisible, that there are smaller particles within.


What are the three subatomic particles of a molecule?

A molecule contains atoms e.g. water (H2O) The atoms, ( hydrogen and oxygen, and all other atoms) contain protons, neutrons in the nucleus of the atoms and electrons in energy shells around the nucleus. Protons, neutrons and electrons are sub-atomic particles.
