Let's shoot from the start Of the atom And aim for the heart Of the nucleus Made

up of neutrons
and also protons Positively charged

Protons all the same Identical Mass 1 amu And they're so small Neutrons have no charge
Comparatively big But only a smidge

In the nucleus Atoms are of subatomic particles And they are electrically neutral 'Cause the
electron number Equals the proton number And the protons in the nucleus - atomic number

The nucleus is made up of just two Protons and neutrons together close to But the electrons
scattered Orbiting in the atom 2, 8, 18, 32, are the shell numbers

Electrons outside The nucleus, negatively charged In electron clouds Almost zero mass Smaller
than the rest Makes most of volume

Isotopes occur Naturally Protons are the same Neutrons different Properties the same Unstable
atoms Nucleus changing

It's radioactive Atoms are of subatomic particles And they are electrically neutral 'Cause the
electron number Equals the proton number And the protons in the nucleus - atomic number

The nucleus is made up of just two Protons and neutrons together close to But the electrons
scattered Orbiting in the atom 2, 8, 18, 32, are the shell numbers

You want to know, how forces move They're everywhere including within atoms Gravity's the
weakest Particles too smallish For gravity to pull this Electromagnetic force Opposites attract
Protons, electrons, hold together, so tight But without the strong force Protons leave the nucleus
Weak force is important, neutrons change

To protons or electrons Atoms are of subatomic particles And they are electrically neutral 'Cause
the electron number Equals the proton number And the protons in the nucleus - atomic number

The nucleus is made up of just two Protons and neutrons together close to But the electrons
scattered Orbiting in the atom 2, 8, 18, 32, are the shell numbers
