Which particles are in the nuleus of an atom?

Inside of an atom there are protons and neutrons. The protons determine the element whereas the neutron can determine if it is an isotope of that element. Of course there are many smaller particles inside of protons and neutrons like quarks and gluons and ... strings.


Atom with 7 protons?

An atom with 7 protons is a nitrogen atom. Protons determine the element of an atom, so an element with 7 protons is always nitrogen, which has the atomic number 7.
