Atomic structure :

There are principally 2 type of charged particles, a light and negatively charged electron, a much heavier positively charged proton, and an electrically uncharged (neutral) particle of about same mass as the proton called a neutron.

Thus all charged particles get combine and form an Atom.

A nucleus consist with neutrons and protons (positively charged) , electrons are revolve around the nucleus because electrons have negatively charged. Therefore they attract towards nucleus.

Atom consists a massive and positively charged proton and neutron part at its centre. This central part of the atom is called nucleus.

Atom consists a massive and positively charged proton and neutron part at its centre. This central part of the atom is called nucleus.

Ashok.

Neutrons are neutral meaning they are not positively or negatively charged.

The charge of nucleus is positive because it consist of positively charge proton and neutron. So the charge of nucleus is positive.

Nucleus consist protons and neutron. Combination of protons and neutron is called nuclions.

Electrons are negative charged, these are revolving around the nucleus. It contains proton & neutron.

First of all. We have to know the composition of Atom, atom is composed of Neutron, Electron and proton.

Representation:Atom is usual represented as a spherical in nature with proton and neutron at the center and electron revolving round it. Negative charge of the electron is balance by the positive charge of the proton, neutron has no charge. The atomic number of an element is usual the number of proton in the nucleus of an atom. The number of electron is equal to the number of proton. The mass number which is usual called nucleon is the sum total of neutron and proton in the nucleus of an atom.

In conclusion, proton and neutron is located in the nucleus of an atom.

Proton is represented as uud(quark model) and neutron as udd. Where u= (+3\2) and d = (-1\2)
