<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.
