The three basic subatomic particles of an atom are protons,which has a positive charge. Electrons, which has a negative charge, and neutrons which have no charge.
The atom is the smallest part of matter that represents a particular element. For quite a while, the atom was thought to be the smallest part of matter that could exist. But in the latter part of the 19th century and early part of the 20th, scientists discovered that atoms are composed of certain subatomic particles and that, no matter what the element, the same subatomic particles make up the atom. The number of the various subatomic particles is the only thing that varies. Scientists now recognize that there are many subatomic particles (this really makes physicists salivate). But in order to be successful in chemistry, you really only need to be concerned with the three major subatomic particles: Protons Neutrons Electrons
The THREE sub-atomic particles in an atom are called: Proton, Neutron, and Electron. The (P)roton is (P)ositive + The (N)eutron is (N)eutral +/- The Electron is Negative. ( No trick for that ). The Electron is in the Electron cloud. Protons and Neutrons are both in the Nucleus of an atom. Nucleus = The middle of an atom.
The neutron.
Neutrons have neutral charge.

The positively charged particle in an atom is a proton. Proton - positive Neutron - neutral Electron - negative
All the components of an atom (neutron, proton, electron) are called subatomic particles or elementary particles.
Valence electrons are located farthest from the nucleus of the atom.

It is the neutron and proton that make up the nucleus of an atom. The only exception is Hydrogen (isotope mass number 1), having only one (single) proton in its nucleus and no neutrons. All other atoms have a nucleus that is made up of combinations of these two subatomic particles.
