Answer:Protons, neutrons, and electrons are the three main subatomic particles found in an atom. Protons have a positive (+) charge. An easy way to remember this is to remember that both proton and positive start with the letter "P." Neutrons have no electrical charge.

Proton is positive
Neutron is neutral
Electron is negative

The nucleus is made of protons and neutrons while the electrons surround the nucleus in the form of probability “clouds”
