<strong>The</strong> Nucleus (cont.)<br />
• All atoms are made <strong>of</strong> three<br />
fundamental subatomic<br />
particles: <strong>the</strong> electron, <strong>the</strong><br />
proton, and <strong>the</strong> neutron.<br />
• <strong>Atom</strong>s are spherically<br />
shaped.<br />
• <strong>Atom</strong>s are mostly empty<br />
space, and electrons travel<br />
around <strong>the</strong> nucleus held by<br />
an attraction to <strong>the</strong> positively<br />
charged nucleus.
