What makes an atom?

an atom has two subatomic particles which are neutrons and protons in the nucleus or "center" and electrons surrounding the nucleus in orbitals, "orbit like" regions of space outside the nucleus.


What small particles are found inside the middle of the atom?

Protons and neutrons are found inside the nucleus of an atom. Electrons orbit the nucleus in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus.


What is in the cloud of negatively charged paticles that surrounds an atom?

Electrons are in the cloud of negatively charged particles that surrounds an atom.


Do protons orbit the nucleus in an atom?

No, protons do not orbit the nucleus in an atom. They are located within the nucleus along with neutrons. Electrons are the particles that orbit the nucleus in an atom.


What is electronic shells?

A shell surrounding the nucleus of an atom containing electrons.


What are the layers of elecrons surrounding the nucleus of an atom called?

The layers of electrons surrounding the nucleus of an atom are called electron shells or energy levels. These shells are designated by the numbers 1, 2, 3, and so on, with each shell able to hold a specific maximum number of electrons.


What is an electron orbit region around an atom?

An orbit is the path around the nucleus of an atom. an electron generally moves along this orbit.


What are the spheres surrounding the nucleus that contains an atom's electrons?

The spheres surrounding the nucleus of an atom are called protons and neutrons, protons hold the electrons in orbit around the nucleus because a proton has a positive charge which attracts the electron which has a negative charge causing electromagnetic force which holds the electron in orbit. The neutron determines the isotope of the atom but has a neutral charge.


Where do electrons protons and neutrons reside within an atom?

Protons and neutrons reside within the nucleus, electrons orbit around the nucleus.


What is in the cloud of negatively charged particles that surround an atom?

The cloud of negatively charged particles surrounding an atom is the electron cloud, where electrons are found. Electrons are fundamental subatomic particles that orbit the nucleus of the atom in specific energy levels or shells.


Do neutrons orbit the outside of an atom?

Neutrons and Protons make up the nucleus. Electrons orbit an atom.
