Well to be honest, that is a near impossible question to answer accurately. The fact is, it has plenty of all three. If you think about how many different elements (pure substances consisting of only one type of atom) are in the ground, they all have different atomic structures. The atomic structure of any element consists of protons (positively charged particles) and neutrons (no charge) 'packed' in the middle, while the electrons (negatively charged) move around rapidly in the 'electron cloud'. A neutral element atom has the same number of electrons as it does protons. The neutrons may not always come in the amount as the protons. If this was confusing and you don't understand the atomic structure at all, check out this website: http://web.jjay.cuny.edu/~acarpi/NSC/3-atoms.htm

What was the atom made of?

An atom is made up of a nucleus containing protons and neutrons, with electrons orbiting around the nucleus. Protons have a positive charge, neutrons have no charge, and electrons have a negative charge. The number of protons determines the element's identity.


What subatomic particles make up the atom?

protons, neutrons and electrons are the main subatomic particles of the atom. There are the same number of protons as electrons, which is equal to the atomic number. The number of neutrons may vary according to the isotope of the element.
