There are three types of subatomic particles: neutrons (neutral), protons (positive) and electrons (negative). The protons and neutrons are stuck together at the very centre of an atom with the electrons 'flying' around the outside. The atomic number of an element refers to how many protons are in an atom, for example helium (atomic number 2) has two protons in the centre.
