Protons (from the nucleus) have a positive charge and electrons (from the electron cloud) have a negative charge. A normal atom is neutral, because the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons.

Which component of the atom is not represented in Rutherford's atomic molecule?

Why does the electrophile attack at the third position in a pyridine?
when an electrophile attacks 2nd position in pyridine the +ve charge goes on the electronegative nitrogen atom and destabilizes the intermediate ,in case of 3rd position attack the +ve charge goes on the ring which is more stable than the intermediate formed during the 2nd position attack
