Diagram of atom structure

Introduction :
Atom is defined as the very small particle. The atoms are having many chemical properties of the elements. The atoms structure are having the nucleus at its center. The electrons are also present in the atom. The electron is always surrounds the nucleus part. The particles like protons and neutrons are also present in the atom.

Various particles present in the diagram of an atom structure

The atom diagram structure consists of three types of particles. They are defined below the following,
1. Protons
2. Neutrons
3. Electrons

Explanation for the various particles for the diagram of atom structure

The diagram of Structure of an Atom is shown below,
                 

Protons:
The protons present in the atom are having a positive charge. The positive charge is equal to the negative charge present in the electrons. The number of particles present in the atoms is used for the representation of the atomic number. Protons are 1836 times greater than the electrons. The proton structure is discovered by the scientist named Ernest Rutherford.

• The mass of the proton is given by 938 MeV/c² = 1.67 x 10^-27 kg.
• The charge of the3 proton is given by 1.602 x 10^-19 Coulombs.
• The diameter of the proton is given by 1.65 x 10^-15 m.

Electron:
The electrons are having the negative charges. The electrons cannot able to split into the further particles. The electrons move freely in the diagram of an atom. The electron forms the electron clouds.

• The mass of an electron present in the atom is given by 9.2095 x 10^-31 kg.
• The charge of an electron present in the atom is given by -1.602177 x 10^-19 C.
• The electron rest energy present in the atom is given by 0.511 MeV.
• The spin of an electron present in the atom is given by + `(1)/(2)` or -`(1)/(2)`

Neutron:
The charge of the neutron present in the atom is having neutral charge. The neutrons present in the atom are used to represent the isotope of the element.

• The mass of the neutron is given by 1.67492729 × 10⁻²⁷ kg.
• The charge of the neutron is given by 0.  
• The spin of the neutron is given by `(1)/(2)`
