There are three basic parts to an atom. These are: the electron, the proton, and the neutron.

The proton is a positively charged particle, with a relative mass of one, that is located in the nucleus of the atom, along with the neutron, which has a relative mass of one, but a neutral charge. The electron has a negligible mass, and a charge of negative one, and is located around the outside of the nucleus, whizzing around in electron shells.

Proton: Relative mass 1, relative charge +1, located in nucleus in centre of atom

Neutron: Relative mass 1, relative charge 0, located in nucleus in centre of atom

Electron: Relative mass 1/1836, relative charge -1, located in 'shells' around nucleus

You are correct but they are not all different but if you combine them you can make a ballance with all of them to make them the same charge

How do subatomic particles tells you what element it is?

Subatomic particles identify elements based on the number of protons in the nucleus. Protons give the element its identity, as each element has a unique number of protons. This number is known as the atomic number, and it determines how the element behaves chemically and physically.
