All the components of an atom (neutron, proton, electron) are called subatomic particles or elementary particles.

What are the bad parts of a food atom?

There is no such thing as a food atom, all atoms are listed on the "Periodic Table of Elements".


What part of an atom do you find protons?

There are two main parts of an atom. The one that contains the most mass is the nucleus, which holds all of the protons and neutrons in a ball at the center of the atom. The second part is the cloud of electrons that orbit the nucleus. So, protons are found in the nucleus of an atom.


What parts of an atom makes up all the mass of an atom?

The nucleus is the part of an atom that contains practically all its mass. In the nucleus, you can find the proton and neutron. The number of electrons, which move about the nucleus, is equal to the number of protons.

What does every atom in a particular element have in common?

They all have the same number of neutrons. All atoms of a given element have a specific number of protons. That is what gives an element its elemental identity. But we know that different atoms of a given element can have different numbers of neutrons. These different atoms of the same element are the isotopes of that element. All the atoms of a given isotope of a given element will have the same number of protons and will have the same number of neutrons. all isotopes of an atom have same number of proton but they have different number of neutron so they have same chemical properties and different physical properties. all isotopes of an atom have same number of proton but they have different number of neutron so they have same chemical properties and different physical properties.
