Atoms consist of three main subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons. These particles are arranged in a specific way within an atom:
Protons: Protons are positively charged particles found in the nucleus of an atom. Each proton carries a charge of +1.
Neutrons: Neutrons are neutral particles (they have no charge) located in the nucleus alongside protons. Neutrons contribute to the mass of an atom but not its charge.
Electrons: Electrons are negatively charged particles that orbit the nucleus in electron shells or energy levels. Electrons are much smaller and lighter than protons and neutrons. The outermost shell, known as the valence shell, is particularly important in determining the chemical behavior of an atom.
The arrangement of these particles can be summarized as follows:
The nucleus is at the center of the atom and contains protons and neutrons.
Electrons orbit the nucleus in specific energy levels or electron shells.
The arrangement is often depicted using the electron cloud model, which represents the probability of finding an electron in a particular region around the nucleus. Electrons do not follow fixed paths like planets around the sun but are rather found in regions of probability called orbitals.
The number of protons in an atom defines its element and determines its chemical properties. The number of electrons is typically equal to the number of protons, resulting in a neutral atom. The total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus gives the Atomic Mass of the atom.
In summary, the arrangement of particles in an atom involves protons and neutrons in the nucleus and electrons in orbit around the nucleus. The specific arrangement and distribution of electrons contribute to the chemical behavior of the atom.

What Has a repeating pattern?
Nonliving, solid material formed in nature with particles arranged in a repeating pattern is a mineral. Atoms of a mineral are arranged in a repeating pattern to form a solid that is called a crystal.
What particles are touching and randomly arranged?
In a solid, particles such as atoms or molecules are closely packed together, touching each other and arranged in a fixed, orderly structure. However, in a liquid, particles are still in close contact but are randomly arranged and can move past one another, allowing the liquid to flow. In contrast, gases have particles that are far apart and not touching each other, moving freely in random directions.
