Step-by-step explanation:

an atom is the smallest chemical particle that exists

the are composed of 3 main things

protons

neutrons

electrons

protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus of the atomic structure( centre) and electrons are in shells out of the nucleus

protons are positive charged

electrons are negative charged

neutrons don't have a charge as their charge is too small and considered as nothing so 0
