No because an atom consists of two main parts and three subatomic particles - protons, neutrons, electrons. Each one is smaller than an atom, therefore they are subatomic particles. An atom only requires protons and electrons to be an atom - e.g. Hydrogen has 1 proton and 1 electron. Neutrons do not affect the overall charge of the atom, and only increase the atomic mass.

I disagree with her because an atom has two main parts: the nucleus and the electron cloud. Atoms have three subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons.
