An atom has three different subatomic particles.
00:08
First, there is the positively charged proton, uncharged neutron, and finally the negatively charged electron.
00:28
So protons, neutrons, and electrons are the three subatomic particles that make up an atom.
00:35
Let us take carbon for an example, which is represented this way in the periodic table.
00:45
6 represents the number of protons for this element.
00:57
Since this is a neutrally charged atom, there's also going to be an equal number of electrons and neutrons.
01:10
Neutrons.
01:14
C is the atomic symbol for carbon, and 12 .01 is the atomic mass, which is equal to the number of.
01:39
Of protons plus neutrons.
01:50
So there are six protons and six neutrons, which is approximately 12 .01.
01:59
If this element is modeled such as this, this is the nucleus, which is the core of the atom, there is going to be six protons and six neutrons in the nucleus.
02:16
So one, two, three, four, four, five, six.
02:24
Same numbers of neutrons...
