Protons and Neutrons.<\/p>\n<p>Protons and neutrons are both subatomic particles that make up the nucleus of an atom. Protons have a positive charge, neutrons have no charge, and electrons have a negative charge. The number of protons in the nucleus determines the chemical element of the atom. For example, all atoms with one proton in the nucleus are hydrogen atoms, all atoms with two protons in the nucleus are helium atoms, and so on. The number of neutrons in the nucleus can vary, and atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes.<\/p>\n<p>Electrons are much smaller than protons and neutrons, and they are <div class=\"youtube-subscribe-container\">\r\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCNHT8lW-JmLC68rjBfZhdkg?sub_confirmation=1\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"youtube-subscribe-button\">\r\n            <span class=\"youtube-icon\">\r\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 576 512\">\r\n                    <path d=\"M549.7 124.1c-6.3-23.7-24.8-42.3-48.3-48.6C458.8 64 288 64 288 64S117.2 64 74.6 75.5c-23.5 6.3-42 24.9-48.3 48.6-11.4 42.9-11.4 132.3-11.4 132.3s0 89.4 11.4 132.3c6.3 23.7 24.8 41.5 48.3 47.8C117.2 448 288 448 288 448s170.8 0 213.4-11.5c23.5-6.3 42-24.2 48.3-47.8 11.4-42.9 11.4-132.3 11.4-132.3s0-89.4-11.4-132.3zm-317.5 213.5V175.2l142.7 81.2-142.7 81.2z\"\/>\r\n                <\/svg>\r\n            <\/span>\r\n            Subscribe on YouTube\r\n        <\/a>\r\n    <\/div> not found in the nucleus.
