1 Electrons-Subatomic particle that has almost no weight and carries a negative charge; orbits in a shell about the nucleus of an atom. 2  Neutrons-Subatomic particle that has a weight of one atomic mass unit, carries no charge, and is found in the nucleus of an atom.
Our current model of the atom can be broken down into three constituents parts â protons, neutron, and electrons. Each of these parts has an associated charge, with protons carrying a positive charge, electrons having a negative charge, and neutrons possessing no net charge. In accordance with the Standard Model of particle physics, protons and neutrons make up the nucleus of the atom, while electrons orbit it in a âcloudâ.
