    Atoms are the smallest particles that make up all matter in the universe. They contain protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus at the center of the atom, while electrons orbit around the outer edges. Protons are positively charged, electrons are negatively charged, and neutrons have no charge. These subatomic particles are themselves made up of even smaller particles like quarks and gluons. Atoms bond together to form molecules, which then combine to build all living and nonliving things.

    Atoms

    by brian kiernan

    What are atoms?

    All Matter is made up of atoms


    Everything in the universe is made up of matter.(except
    energy)
    Atoms are the smallest pure particle of elements.
    Just like all matter atoms have volume and mass.
    Atoms are the building blocks of life!

    How an Atom is Structured


    Atoms are made up of 3 sub
    particles, Protons, Neutrons and
    Electrons!
    The nucleus is the core of the
    atom and is formed by protons and
    neutrons binding together.
    Electrons fly around the edge of
    an atom in different layers.
    Most of an atom is empty space!
    The whole of matter on earth is
    about as big as a teaspoon.

    Proton

    Electron
    Neutron

    Protons
    Protons are positively charged
    subparticles.
    Thy are located in the nucleus by the
    force strong interaction with neutrons.
    Protons are made up of even smaller
    particles called quarks and Gluons.
    Quarks make up about 1% of the matter in
    a proton. The rest is comprised of
    energy that the quarks make.

    Proton

    Electrons
    Electrons are negatively charged particles.
    They have volume and mass but both are almost
    minuscule.
    Electrons are made up of leptons instead of
    quarks.
    Electrons are located on the outer shell and
    fly around the atom.
    Electrons are very unstable and can be lost and
    gained by atoms creating things like ions.

    Neutrons
    Neutrons are subatomic particles that have
    a neutral charge.
    They are a lot like protons. They are
    located in the nucleus and are made up of
    quarks and Gluons.
    The reason for the neutral charge is
    because the neutron has two down quarks and
    one up quark instead of two up quarks and
    one down quark.

    Summery
    Atoms are the building blocks of all matter.
    Atoms are the smallest particles that have elemental
    characteristics.
    Atoms have sub particles called protons (+), Neutrons (no
    charge), and electrons (-).
    These sub particles have even smaller particles called
    quarks, gluons, and leptons.
