Summary Introduction
Introduction:
All matter is made up of small particles called atoms. Atoms are composed of small, subatomic particles- protons, electrons and neutrons. Protons are positively charged, electrons are negatively charged and neutrons have no charge. The protons and neutrons together make up the nucleus of an atom while electrons spin around the nucleus in well-defined pathways.
