subatomic particles protons, neutrons, and electrons
where are subatomic Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus and
particles located electrons are found in the electron shell

why are atoms electrically they have an equal # of protons and electrons
neutral
Regions within electron shells where electrons orbit
orbitals
