Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the basic structure of an atom, which consists of a nucleus and an electron cloud.
Understand that the nucleus of an atom contains protons and neutrons, which are subatomic particles.
Recognize that electrons are also subatomic particles and are found in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus.
Differentiate between subatomic particles and other scientific terms such as quarks, leptons, and bosons, which are more fundamental particles that make up protons and neutrons.
Clarify that atoms, elements, compounds, molecules, and ions are not subatomic particles but rather larger structures or concepts in chemistry.
