Everywhere! Matter as we know it, is generally made up of atoms. They are the building blocks of molecules.

Inside an atom however, the protons, neutrons and electrons are located in different places. The proton, which is positively charged is found alongside the neutrons, with no charge, in the nucleus of the atom. The electrons then orbit the nucleus in shells.

The first shell can hold up to two electrons, the second up to eight etc.

Sub atomic parts inside and outside the nudeus of your atom?

I am assuming your question is: "what are the sub atomic molecules inside and outside the nucleus of an atom?" Here is the answer: There are three subatomic particles, Protons Neutrons and Electrons. Protons are located inside the nucleus of an atom, along with Neutrons. Electrons are located outside the nucleus, inside things called energy levels, but i won't go into to much detail. Hope that answers your question


Atoms have 2 parts What are they and how is each one charged?

Atoms are made up of three parts actually. The protons, electrons, and neutrons. The neutrons are neutrally charged and are the heaviest part of the atom, located in the nucleus. The electrons are the small and almost weightless part of an atom, they are negatively charged and circle the nucleus. The protons are positively charged, and also located in the nucleus.


Which is the smallest atom?

The smallest atom is hydrogen.


What orbits in layers in the atom?

Electrons with different energy levels orbit in the different shells of the atom. The electrons located in the outer shell are called valence electrons, they have the most energy and are the ones who participate most in bonding.


What is the area surrounding the atom where electrons are located?

Its called the electron shell. Electrons will always fill up low orbitals first in the shell, an then as more energy is added to the atom, the electrons move up an orbit, then release the energy in some form, and they move back down to the lowest energy orbit.
