Solution
Structure of an atom.

Position of the subatomic – particles.
Atom consist of three sub-atomic.
Particles: 1. Protons, 2. Electrons, 3. Neutrons
- The nucleus of the atom contains the protons (positively charged) and the neutrons (no change)
- The outermost regions of the atom are called electron shells and contain the electrons (negatively charged)
- The protons have a positive charge while neutrons have a neutral charge.
- Electrons circle around the nucleus of an atom, they are negatively charged.
