There are three types of particle you will find inside an atom; the proton, the neutron, and the electron. Of these, the proton and neutron each have mass '1', and the electrons mass is so small, we usually ignore it (about 1/1836, if you were wondering). Of these particles, the electron and the proton are both charged. The proton has a positive charge, and the electron has a negative charge. This is what keeps the electrons close, and this charge allows atoms to bond together to form molecules. The protons and neutrons form a stable nucleus, and the electrons orbit around them.

Each element is represented by an atom.

Each atom contains a specific number of electrons and protons and approximately the same number of neutrons (different neutron counts make different isotopes of atoms but the element stays the same.) The protons and neutrons are arranged in the atomic nucleus, the electrons in probability density clouds around the nucleus.

Each electron, proton and neutron is made up of various subatomic particles (quarks, muons, etc.)

Each subatomic particle is made of energy.

The details of the atoms, their protons and neutrons can be found in the Periodic Table of the elements
