An atom contains protons,neutrons and electrons. An atom is very small.In order to see it you have to use a special microscope.

Edit: The atom is made up of three main particles: neutrons, protons, and electrons. The atom is completely unique, but is hard to pinpoint, because we're discovering more and more about it all the time. It's full name is "Atomos", meaning: "Can not be broken down". In simpler words, it means it's tiny and EVERYTHING is made out of it.
