They are known as the fundamental particles of an atom.\n\nIn the nucleus, the PROTONS, which have the + charge, and the NEUTRONS, which have the 0 charge.\n\nOutside the nucleus, the ELECTRONS, which have the - charge.\n\nBut research has it that there are more particles of an atom like the quark, antiquark, lepton, antilepton

One property of matter is the electric charge. Most sub-atomic particles have either a positive (+) or negative (-) electrical charge. Those that don't are considered neutral. The most common charged particles are the electron and proton. Atoms with an excess of electrons are called negative ions. Those with missing electrons are called positive ions. There is an electrical field that flows between opposite charges, causing an electrical force. This results in an attractive force between the opposite charges and a repelling force between like charges.

Atoms are in turn made of electrons, neutrons and protons, magnetism holds them together:  Electrons carry a positive charge, protons have a negative charge, and neutrons are...neutral.  Electrons orbit protons and neutrons the way Earth orbits the sun.  The theory expands to quarks, and even smaller unit.  Read up on it!\n\nOrigin so far is explained in the Big Bang theory. \n\nScience doesn't have all the answers yet, but thats why people become scientists, so many fascinating mysteries to figure out.

An element consists of protons, neutrons and electrons. The protons and neutrons are to be found in the nucleus which is a dense ball of energy/mass. The protons are 'positive' and neutrons are 'neutral'. The electrons are to be found within the vicinity of the nucleus in set energy states defined by the quantum properties of the particular element. The electrons can be considered to particles orbiting the nucleus if you haven't done quantum physics or they can be considered to have a probability distribution of appearing at any particular point within one of the clouds around the nucleus if you have some knowledge of quantum mechanics! Elements have the same number of protons and electrons so the charge is balanced. The number of neutrons tend to equal the number of protons in light elements, although this does differ frequently! In heavier atoms there are far more neutrons (this is to maintain the stability of the nucleus - which is made unstable by too many postive charges occupying a very close space).

yes, Each proton and each neutron contains three quarks.There are several varieties of quarks. Protons and neutrons are composed of two types: up quarks and down quarks.\n\nEach up quark has a charge of +2/3.\nEach down quark has a charge of -1/3.\nThe sum of the charges of quarks that make up a nuclear particle determines its electrical charge. \n\nbut string theory proposes that it gets smaller than quarks a lot smaller. it is interesting and cool to look into.

electrons are negatively charged and like charges repel\n\ntherefore, electrons repel\n\nsimilarly protons repel (two +'s)\n\nbut a proton and electron attract, thus causing atoms, and the universe we live in today

ATOM: Each atom consists of a central core with negatively charged electrons revolving around the core. The core consists of positively charged protons and uncharged neutrons. The core is called the nucleus of an atom. An atom as such is electrically neutral. Atoms of different elements have different and unique characteristics. Although all atoms are made up of protons, neutrons and electrons, it is the way these subatomic particles are arranged that gives each of the atom its unique characteristics.   \n\nATOMIC NUCLEUS: The nucleus of an atom is the very dense region in its centre consisting of protons and neutrons. The size of the nucleus is much smaller than the size of the atom itself, and almost all of the mass in an atom is made up from the protons and neutrons with almost no contribution from the electrons.  The nucleus of an atom consists of very tightly bound protons and neutrons which are further composed of sub-atomic fundamental particles known as quarks.

Hm.  Okay.  Here's some stuff about atoms to get you started:\n\nJust like all things are made of atoms, all atoms for the most part are made up of the same three parts.  Protons, neutrons, and electrons.\n\nProtons and neutrons are comparatively really heavy.  Pretty much all the weight of an atom comes from these guys.  Because they're heavy, they don't move around a lot unless the whole atom is moving.  Instead they stick together in the center of the atom (also called the nucleus).\n\nElectrons live very different lives.  Unlike protons and neutrons, they are not only light but comparatively large.  They buzz around the nucleus like planets around a star... or perhaps more like beach balls around a sack of marbles.  A lot of chemistry has to do with electrons zipping around, being attracted to one thing or another... or more likely to several things at once.\n\nAnother important thing to know about the parts of atoms is their charge.  The charge in these parts come from the electric force, which (if you can imagine it) is a billion billion billion billion billion billion times stronger than gravity (yes, that's a one followed by 36 zeroes).  The electric force is also involved with electricity that we use in our houses and the like.\n\nThe pro- in proton comes from its positive charge.  To make things easy for themselves scientists just decided to say a proton has a +1 charge.  The neu- in neutron comes from it being neutral.  It has zero charge.  Electrons have the opposite charge of protons, so they have a -1 charge.  Pretty straightforward.\n\nAnd here's where things get interesting.  The name we give an atom (like helium or uranium or whatever) depends ONLY on the number of protons it has.  So, for example, an atom with two protons is helium, no matter WHAT else its got.  Neutrons hang out in the nucleus with protons, where they add to the weight of an atom but don't do much else.  And the REASON all those electrons are buzzing around a boring nucleus instead of being off somewhere else is because all those negative charges like to be near all those positive charges.  And since the electric force is so incredibly strong, you can bet that just about everything you run into is going to have as close to a zero total charge as it can get.\n\nSo there you have it.  Atoms in a nutshell.  Hope that helps!

Basic Atomic Structure\n\nThe definitions of atoms and elements seems, at first glance, almost circular: an element is a substance made up of only one kind of atom, and an atom is the smallest particle of an element that retains all the chemical and physical properties of the element. In fact, these two definitions do not form a closed loop, as they would if it were stated that an element is something made up of atoms. Every item of matter that exists, except for the subatomic particles discussed in this essay, is made up of atoms. An element, on the other hand, is—as stated in its definition—made up of only one kind of atom. "Kind of atom" in this context refers to the number of protons in its nucleus.\n\nProtons are one of three basic subatomic particles, the other two being electrons and neutrons. As we shall see, there appear to be particles even smaller than these, but before approaching these "sub-subatomic" particles, it is necessary to address the three most significant components of an atom. These are distinguished from one another in terms of electric charge: protons are positively charged, electrons are negative in charge, and neutrons have no electrical charge. As with the north and south poles of magnets, positive and negative charges attract one another, whereas like charges repel. Atoms have no net charge, meaning that the protons and electrons cancel out one another.

Yup.  That's right.  Electrons are generally located in diffuse shells arranged around a very dense nucleus.  All matter on earth is basically empty space.  Do searches under "Rutherford atom" and "neutrinos" for more information.

The concepts that we cling to suggest that protons and electrons are particles that occupy a finite POINT in space. The truth is that this is a good picture to use to fit the kind of world we see outside the atom. But in fact we only know that the effects of electrons appear to come from one location, and that location (of the effects) seems to change with time. Therefore we say the particle (electron) moved.\n\n Regarding the nucleus and the protons and neutrons, it is difficult to picture stationary objects packed so closely together, particularly since the protons are repulsive to each other and since strange events periodically erupt from within most of them - sort of analogous to groups of people from opposing schools required to mingle at a party, but never allowed to group together with their friends. Occasionally a fight breaks out and someboby is pitched out the side door or window. Again at the site we identify with the particle, all we know is that there are electric and magnetic field characteristics emanating from the "site" where we say the particle resides. If the essence of the fields move, we say the particle moved.\n\nSo what is an electron? All we know is that there is an electric and magnetic field disturbance together with a phenomenon we call mass (gravitational emanations), that changes in location with time. That there is a central location for the emanations allows us to specify a spatial position for the particle.

electron\nThe electron is a lightweight fundamental subatomic particle that carries a negative electric charge. The electron is a spin-1/2 lepton, does not participate in strong interactions and has no substructure. Together with atomic nuclei, electrons make up atoms; they are responsible for chemical bonding. The flow of electricity in solid conductors is primarily due to the movement of electrons.\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron\n\nThe electron, denoted  is a fundamental particle with negative electric charge that is found arranged in quantum mechanical orbits about neutral atoms. The electron is a lepton, and therefore has lepton number 1. The antiparticle of the electron is called the positron. \n\nThe electron mass is  kg, and the electron charge , where  \nhttp://scienceworld.wolfram.com/physics/Electron.html

It's an interesting idea, but subatomic particles that do not have electrons are also affected by time dilation (cosmic rays for instance).  And electrons do not literally spin around a nucleus (as far as we can tell) there is a potential for it to be anywhere in a give shell at any given time.
