Q1. What does an atom looks like? what are the sub-atomic particles inseide?
Atoms are made up of three types of particles- protons, neutrons and electrons. These particles have different properties. Electrons are tiny, light particles that have a negative electrical charge (-). Protons are large heavier and larger than electrons, and it have a positive electrical charge (+). Neutrons are as large and as heavy as protons, but it has no electrical charge, hence atoms are always neutral. There is a nucleus in the center of the atom, the neutrons and protons are found in the nucleus, while electrons are found outside of the nucleus.
