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 consist of electrons [electrons: Sub-atomic particles, with a negative charge and a negligible mass relative to protons and neutrons. ] surrounding a nucleus [nucleus: The central part of an atom. It contains protons and neutrons, and has most of the mass of the atom.] that contains protons protons: Sub-atomic particles with a positive charge and a relative mass of 1. and neutrons neutrons: Uncharged sub-atomic particles, with a mass of 1 relative to a proton. .eutrons are neutral, but protons and electrons are electrically charged. Protons have a relative charge of +1, while electrons have a relative charge of -1. The number of protons in an atom is called its atomic number.
