Electrons=negative charge
Protons=positive charge
Neutrons=neutral charge
Most of the mass of the atom is in the nucleus. The atom is surrounded by orbits of electrons that are mobile and are negatively charged.

I'm not sure about the second question, but hope this helps

Protons - positively charged (+1)
Neutrons - Neutral charge (0)
Electrons - Negatively charged (-1)
Protons and neutrons stay inside the nucleus, while electrons circle the outside.
