Protons, neutrons and electrons, make up an atom. In an atom the protons and neutrons are attached to the nucleus (in the middle of the atom) and do not transfer to other atoms. The electrons however can be given off and taken in to and from other atoms. The electrons are in what is called 'shells'. They are constantly moving, therefore you cannot determine where they really are in an atom, other than that they are in shells.
