There are three primary parts to an atom (In varying quantities); two of which can be broken down even further. Protons with positive electric charges, neutrons with no electric charge and electrons with negative electric charges.
Electrons cannot be broken down in to smaller parts, but protons and neutrons are composed of what's called "quarks". There are six types of quarks, known as 'flavors". These are "up", "down", "strange", "charm", "bottom" and "top". However, the majority of protons and neutrons are only made of "ups" and "downs".
The protons and neutrons are located at the core of the atom, and make up what's called the "nucleus". The electrons of the atom orbit around the nucleus, and the path by which they orbit is known as the "electron shell".

electrons
There are three main components in an atom. Protons and electrons have +1 and -1 charges respectively. Neutrons carry no charge.
The three main components of an atom are as follows: Protons (Which have a +1 charge) Neutrons (Which are nuetral) Electrons (Which have a -1 charge)
A cation is smaller than the neutral atom because one electron is removed from the original atom to form it. An anion is larger than the neutral atom because one electron is added to the original atom to form it.
An atom
Components of the atom are protons, neutrons and electrons.
a neutron
Atoms are the basic, simplest, indestructible by chemical methods components of matter.Two or more atoms combined form a molecule.
these are electrons, protons, & neutrons.
electrons
Components of the atom are protons, neutrons and electrons.
The three main components of the atom are the proton, neutron and electron.
There are three main components in an atom. Protons and electrons have +1 and -1 charges respectively. Neutrons carry no charge.
Electrons
Electrons are generally gathered around an atom beginning with the lowest possible quantum numbers.
They have a mass and are components of the atom.
