Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Particles which are smaller in size than the atom are known as subatomic particles. The three chief subatomic particles which form an atom are neutrons,electrons, and protons. The center of the atom is known as the nucleus. The nucleus of an atom is formed by the protons and neutrons. It is known as the atomic nucleus.
