    Protons, neutrons, and electrons are subatomic particles that make up atoms. Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus at the center of an atom, which holds most of the atom's mass. Electrons orbit around the nucleus. Atoms can become ions by gaining or losing electrons, giving them a net positive or negative electrical charge and making them cations or anions respectively.
