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.
Its main job is to hold together the subatomic particles of the nucleus (protons, which carry a positive charge, and neutrons, which carry no charge. These particles are collectively called nucleons). As most people learn in their science education, like charges repel (+ +, or - -), and unlike charges attract (+ -).
