Atoms

Atoms are the basic unit of chemistry. They consist of 3 smaller things:

Protons - these are positively charged (+)
Electrons - these are negatively charged (-)
Neutrons - these have no charge
These 3 smaller particles are arranged in a particular way. In the center is the Nucleus where you find the positive Protons and neutral Neutrons.
