Atomic Structure: Sub-Atomic Particles⚛️...

Seneca Learning
About this episode

In this episode, Jamie explains the charges of sub-atomic particles — protons, neutrons, and electrons — and their role in making atoms neutral.

Discover how these charges balance in atoms, with protons and electrons contributing positive and negative charges, respectively, and neutrons remaining charge-neutral.
