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.
Atoms can join together to form molecules, which in turn form most of the objects around you. Atoms are composed of particles called protons, electrons and neutrons. Protons carry a positive electrical charge, electrons carry a negative electrical charge and neutrons carry no electrical charge at all. The protons and neutrons cluster together in the central part of the atom, called the nucleus, and the electrons 'orbit' the nucleus.
