What particles are atoms composed of?

Answer 1

Atoms are composed of particles called nucleons. There are 2 types of nucleons. They are the positively charged proton and the neutral (no charge) neutrons. There are also negatively charged particles called electrons that orbit the nucleus.

Answer 2

protons and neutrons. i could be wrong, but protons might have something called korks in them, but otherwise electrons only have korks (electrons are not in the nucleus, just to make that clear).

Answer 3

An atom, without going into too much detail, consists of three things:

• You have Protons which are positively (+1) charged particles with an atomic weight of 1
• Neutrons which have no charge and have an atomic weight of 1 too
• And finally, you have Electrons which are negatively (-1) charged and have an atomic weight of virtually nothing.

Answer 4

The sub atomic particles Neutrons and protons consist of Quarks while electron itself is a fundamental particle.

Answer 5

These particles are protons and neutrons which are situated in the nucleus; electrons surround this nucleus.

Answer 6

A nucleus of protons and zero or more neutrons, surrounded by clouds of zero or more electrons.
