That is a good question. Scientists are still not completely sure what the atom is made of, however we do know about three parts right now. They are the proton (positive charge), neutron (neutral charge), and electron (negative charge). The proton attracts the electrons, causing them to orbit. There can be more neutrons than protons but not less. The neutrons keep the positively charged protons from repelling each other. Scientists do not know what causes a proton to have different properties than a neutron. They can change charges. (proton can become neutron and vice-versa)

∙ 12y agoAn atom has a nucleus composed of protons and usually neutrons as well (there is only one kind of atom which has no neutrons, which is the hydrogen 1 isotope) and it also has electrons surrounding the nucleus, with the same number of electrons as the number of protons in the neutrons.
