Protons, neutrons, and electrons are the main particles of an atom.

Protons are positively charged and are located in the nucleus of the atom.

Neutrons are neutrally charged and are also located in the nucleus.

Electrons are negatively charged and are located in the electron cloud, which is an area outside of the nucleus.

Within an atom, there will typically be the same number of protons and electrons so the atom has a neutral charge (they cancel out). Neutrons are usually also the same number, although it is not uncommon for the neutrons to have their own population.

An atom (which consists of a single particle and are the simplest form of matter) is made up of protons, neutrons and electrons.

Protons are positively charged, electrons are negatively charged and neutrons have no charge.

In an atomic structure of an element, the proton and neutron are contained within an atom, whereas the electron orbits the atom. The number of protons and electrons can be determined by the atomic number of the element. For example, Oxygen is 8th on the periodic table (and therefore has an atomic number of 8). This means that the oxygen atom has 8 protons and 8 electrons. The number of neutrons is calculated when you subtract the atomic number from the atomic weight.

You haven't really phrased a question here, so this is not an answer as such.

But

All about protons neutrons and electrons may be a number of things. It could be reference to a song by The Cat Empire, called 'Protons Neutrons Electrons'.

Protons Neutrons and Electrons are the physical components, and are referred to as the atomic particles. this is because these particles are the very building blocks of all of the physical matter than you can see around you. These particles combine to create atoms. If an atom was the size of a stadium, a proton would be smaller than a marble. Protons have a positive charge, and Neutrons have no charge. Electrons have a negative charge. If you were small enough, and had enough time, you could take a regular house brick or five, and take it apart into these individual parts, and then put the parts back together to make a cat, a guitar, or any object of your desire. But each particle is small. really small.

These particles altogether make up an atom of some element or another.

The proton carries a positive charge, and the neutron carries no charge, at all. These two make up the nucleus of the atom.

The electron carries a negative charge. This cancels out the positive charge of the atom, so that the atom has no charge, at all. Electrons whirl around the nucleus in certain strict energy levels. Electrons cannot exist between these energy levels, only exactly in them.
