An atom is the smallest unit of an element that retains all of the chemical and physical properties of that element.
Atoms are composed of subatomic particles called protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus of an atom, which is the central region.
Protons have a positive charge, while neutrons have no charge (neutral).
Electrons, which have a negative charge, orbit around the nucleus in specific energy levels or shells.
The number of protons in an atom determines its atomic number and identifies the element.
The number of neutrons can vary within the same element, resulting in different isotopes.
The mass of an atom is determined by the combined mass of its protons and neutrons.
Electrons have a negligible mass compared to protons and neutrons.
The arrangement of electrons in the energy levels determines the chemical behavior and reactivity of an atom.
Atoms can gain, lose, or share electrons to form chemical bonds and create compounds.
The overall charge of an atom is neutral, as the number of protons equals the number of electrons.

Atoms are the smallest building blocks of elements.
They are made up of even smaller particles called protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Protons and neutrons are found in the center of the atom, called the nucleus.
Protons have a positive charge, neutrons have no charge, and electrons have a negative charge.
The number of protons determines the type of element an atom is.
The mass of an atom is determined by the combined mass of its protons and neutrons.
Electrons orbit around the nucleus in specific energy levels.
Atoms can gain, lose, or share electrons to form compounds.
Atoms have a neutral charge overall, with the same number of protons and electrons.
