Describe the three kinds of particles found in atoms.

Where are they located & what are their charges?

• Protons – in the nucleus, positive charge• Neutrons – in the nucleus, no charge• Electrons – outside the nucleus,

negative charge

A stable carbon atom has the following parts:

– 6 protons

– 6 neutrons

– 6 electrons

Describe the location of each of these parts in a carbon atom.

Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus of the atom, at the very center. Electrons are

found in an electron cloud that surrounds the nucleus.
