Where are protons neutrons and electrons located?

Protons, neutrons and electrons are located in the atom. The protons and neutrons are located in the atomic nucleus; the electrons are around the nucleus, arranged in shells.


How the electrons are arranged around nucleus an how they affect its reactivity?

Electrons are arranged in electron clouds around the nucleus. The reactivity is determined by the number of valence electrons, or electrons in the outermost energy levels. All atoms (except for hydrogen who wants 2 electrons and boron who wants 6) want 8 valence electrons, or a full outer energy level. This makes them stable (like the noble gases). If an atom has 1 valence electron it will desperately want to lose that electron while an atom with 7 electrons will want to gain one electron. All atoms have the goal of 8 valence electrons. Also, the 1st energy level only has 2 electrons. After that there is 8 electrons (approximately, because you can never truly determine where an electron is inside of an atom at any given time).


Which subatomic particle determines the properties of an element?

The number of protons in the atomic nucleus determines the properties of an element. Every element has its own unique number of protons, called its atomic number, which is displayed on the periodic table. The elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number on the periodic table.


Why the wood is not good conductor?

A conductor is something that allows for the movement of tiny charge carrying particles called electrons across the surface. The specific elements that make up wood and the way that its molecules are arranged don't allow for ease of movement of electrons across its surface.


Where are the parts located and what is the charge?

The proton (charge +1) and the neutron (charge 0) make up the nucleus of the atom, giving it an overall positive charge. The electrons (charge -1) orbit the nucleus, arranged in energy levels or 'shells'.
