Understand the structure of an atom: An atom consists of a nucleus and an electron cloud. The nucleus is the central part of the atom.
Identify the subatomic particles: Atoms are made up of three main subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Locate the protons: Protons are positively charged particles found in the nucleus of an atom.
Locate the neutrons: Neutrons are neutral particles, meaning they have no charge, and are also found in the nucleus of an atom.
Recognize the location of electrons: Electrons are negatively charged particles that orbit the nucleus in various energy levels or shells, not found in the nucleus.
