  The Atom •  All maWer is made of atoms. •  Atoms have electrons, neutrons, and protons. Electrons move, protons and neutrons do not move. • Atoms have negaFve and posiFve charges. •  Electrons have a negaFve charge; protons have a posiFve charge. •  Protons and neutrons are located at the centre of the atom, in the nucleus. •  Electrons orbit around the outside of the nucleus, in energy “shells.” •  An object can be negaFvely or posiFvely charged, depending on the raFo of protons and neutrons.
