Describe the current model of the atom and the characteristics of each of the 3 subatomic particles. Be prepared to provide the number of protons, neutrons and electrons for a given element.

The current model of the atom and the characteristics of each of the 3 subatomic particles are the electron cloud which contains 1 subatomic particle the electron which has negative charge and weights 1/2000 AMU the electron cloud surrounds the nucleus, the nucleus contains two subatomic particles the proton which has positive charge and weights one AMU and the neutron which has neutral/no charge and weights one AMU.
