The subatomic particles of an element are very important to that element and affect an element each in it's own way.

What are the three subatomic particles of an atom and what are their respective charges? If I wanted to figure out how to find the number of nuetrons, how could I use the atomic mass to find it?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The three subatomic particles: protons with a positive charge, neutrons with a neutral charge, and electrons with a negative charge. The atomic mass can be found by adding the amount of protons and the amount of neutrons together. Therefore, you can find the number of neutrons in an atom by subtracting the number of protons from the atomic mass.
