This document describes the subatomic particles that make up atoms - protons, neutrons, and electrons. It discusses their properties and discoveries. Atoms are identified by their atomic number, which is the number of protons, and also the number of electrons. Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons. The mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons. Examples are provided to demonstrate calculating the numbers of each type of particle in different isotopes.
