In terms of atomic theory the protons and electroncs contribute the charge to an atom.

In terms of quantum theory electrons are a type of lepton and protons are composed of quarks. So quarks and leptons contribute nuclear charge.

Okay. Well there are 3 parts of the Subatomic Particles aka. Atoms. 1.Neutrons which have a Neutral Charge. 2.Electron which they have a positive charge. and 3. Protons which have a positive charge.

There are many particles that contribute to the make up an atom. An electron is the subatomic particle that has a negative charge. The muon and tau particle also are negatively charged.


What is the energy in the nucleus of an atom?
