An atom is made up of different parts. The main part of the atom is the nucleus, which contains protons and neutrons. The outside of the atom is made up of rings that contain electrons. The number of protons, neutrons and epectrons can be found next to the element in the periodic table. (sorry I was a little unsure what to say about matter)
Atoms are the basic unit of matter, it cannot be broken down into anything smaller. Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. Protons, neutrons and electrons all are particles. The nucleus is where the protons and neutrons are located, while the electrons are located in the orbitals.
