Best Answer

All elements are made of protons, neutrons, and electrons. An atom of an element has the same number of electrons as it does protons in it's neutral state. Different elements have a different number of protons. Atoms of the same element can have a different number of neutrons however, and these are known as isotopes.

Atoms are composed of three subatomic particles:

• Protons, which have a positive charge and reside in the nucleus

• Electrons, which have a negative charge and orbit the nucleus of the atom

• Neutrons, which have no charge and reside in the nucleus with the protons

Protons and neutrons however, are composed of two particles:

• Quarks

• Gluons

Atoms are made out of possibly the smallest thing today, known as Quarks. Quarks are much smaller than the atom itself.
