Positive ions are atoms that have lost an electron.<\/p>\n<p>An atom is made up of three types of subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus of the atom, while electrons orbit the nucleus. The number of protons in an atom determines its chemical element. For example, all atoms that have 6 protons in their nucleus are carbon atoms.<\/p>\n<p>The number of electrons in an atom is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus.
