Atoms actually have two parts, the nucleus (in the center) and the electron cloud (surrounding the nucleus) however the parts also have parts. A nucleus either has just a proton (in the case of the lightest hydrogen isotope) or it contains both protons and neutrons. And protons and neutrons in turn are composed of quarks. So if you look at an atom in finer detail, you can break it down to quarks and electrons.

What are the negative and positive parts of an atom?
positive: proton negative: electron neutral: neutron
When all electrons in an atom are in orbitals with the lowest possible energy the atom is in its what state is it in?
ground state
Where can the most mass be found in an atom?
Essentially all of the atom's mass is in the nucleus. In the lightest atom, that of hydrogen, it's about 99.95 percent. In the heaviest naturally occurring atom, that of Uranium238, it's about 99.979 percent.
When this part of an atom moves to another atom the losing atom has what charge?
Positive. The only (typical) parts of atoms that move are electrons which have a negative charge; therefore, if a neutral atom loses an amount of electrons (negative charges), the atom has more positive charges (from the protons) than negative charges which makes the atom positively charged overall.
What are the basic particles found in the nucleus of an atom?
In the nucleus of an atom protons and neutrons can be found. All atoms of all elements have protons and neutrons except one isotope of hydrogen.
What are the three parts of an atom?
Electron Neutron Proton All of these make up an atom. :)
Do lithium atom an the boron atom have the same parts?
All atoms contain protons, neutrons and electrons.
Name given to all parts of the atom?
All the components of an atom (neutron, proton, electron) are called subatomic particles or elementary particles.
How do the parts of the atom cause the atom to be neutral?
well when you add all the protons and electrons, it forms a neutral balance
What are the bad parts of a food atom?
There is no such thing as a food atom, all atoms are listed on the "Periodic Table of Elements".
What parts if an atom produce magnitism?
The parts of an atom which produce magnetism are the electrons.
What are all five parts of an atom?
Protons, neutrons, nucleus, electrons, electron shells.
What two parts of the atom are in the atom?
Protons and neutron
What parts of the atom takes most of its space?
the nucleus of an atom
How are the parts of the atom placed in the atom?
Protons and Neutrons are in the Core of an atom, and Electrons orbit around this Core.
Which parts of an atom can move to another atom and cause it to be positively charged?
electron
Which parts of an atom are in the center?
The nucleus, the center, of an atom is composed a protons and neutrons.
