Subatomic particles are particles smaller than atoms that exist within atoms, including protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons are composite particles located in the nucleus, with protons having a positive charge (+1) and neutrons being neutral (charge 0), both having a mass of 1 atomic mass unit. Electrons are elementary particles orbiting in the electron cloud, having a negative charge (-1) and a much smaller mass (1/1836 of a proton). The atomic number of an element is determined by the number of protons in its nucleus.

Learn Subatomic Particles in Minutes (No Chemistry Anxiety!) #education #chemistry #viral #supportAdded:
Hello everyone.
Welcome to Namma Elite Vista channel.
So today we are going to learn some of the basics of science which is very very important and crucial nowadays.
Yes. So as this is our first video, I wanted to start with our new and very basic concept.
And here in front of you one picture is there. Please have a think then what we are going to learn today.
As I mentioned, it's completely a basic of science.
Yes. So before going to the topic, I wanted to mention that please don't forget to subscribe, share, and comment.
So if anyone wanted to learn a new topic or if anyone looking forward a courses with us, please there is a contact details in the description. Please go through that.
Yes. So today we are diving into the fundamentals of chemistry, specially the subatomic particles.
So let me write on the thing here. We are going to learn about subatomic particles.
So how the subatomic particles are related to our daily life?
We are going to learn we are going to use a different different kind of and matters like oxygen even gaseous matter and which is very very important to our human beings or living lives. And we are going to use a different different kind of and matters which are built by our subatomic particles.
Yes. So be ready to learn about the subatomic particles. These are very very tiny particles compared to atom. Okay?
But we know that atoms are tinier particles.
But compared to atoms, subatomic particles are even though very tiny particles.
Okay, so here subatomic particles are a particles that are smaller than atoms.
It means they are present within an atom, correct?
Yes. So here in front of you there is a picture of atom. You can just see that the subatomic particles are electron, proton, and neutron. These three type of and subatomic particles are present in an atom. And mainly neutron, protons are present within the nucleus.
And electrons are present in electron cloud.
Which is very very important for one mark. They're going to ask in your examination like, "So, where the neutron and protons are present?" Absolutely, they are present within a nucleus of an atom.
So electrons are present in electron cloud.
Okay? So, let's get started. You're going to learn about electron, proton, neutron to bite today completely.
So here in front of you one table is there. So we already know that subatomic particles are proton, neutron, and electron. And they are two types of subatomic particles are there.
One is elementary particle.
First type is elementary particle.
And second type is composite particles.
Yes. These are all the types of subatomic particles. So, let us discuss about elementary particle. Elementary particles are nothing but here single subatomic particles are present, that is electron.
So, in So, in elementary particle, electron is present like electron is the example for elementary particle.
And proton and neutrons are example for composite particle. Together, neutron and proton we're going to call the those as composite particles.
Yes. So, we already know about the types of subatomic particles also. It's time to know about the charges and the mass of those subatomic particle.
Have a look. Protons are having the charge plus one. Generally, we're going to call it as positive.
Positive charge.
And neutrons have a charge zero.
Generally, we're going to call it as neutral.
And electron is having negative one charge. Generally, we're going to call it as negative charge.
So, in chemistry, we are not going to represent proton, electron, neutron completely in a word form. Just we are going to represent those in the charges form, that is positive, negative, and neutral. So, by looking at the charges, we can understand that Okay, these are all protons and the electrons and even neutrons, okay?
Yes. So, and we are moving towards the masses. Here, proton and neutron having the same mass, which will be equal to one. Proton and neutron having the same mass, which is equal to one.
Electron is very tiniest particle. Have a look. It will be 1 over 1,836.
It means 9.11 * 10 ^ -31 kg, very tiny particle, okay?
Very tiny particle in subatomic particle is electron.
You got it.
Yes. So, now you already learn about the charges, masses, and where you can just see the proton, neutron, electron, and even the types of subatomic particle.
So, can we revise it quickly?
Yes. So, in subatomic particle, two types are there. One is elementary particle, two is composite particle.
Electron is example for elementary particle. Proton and neutrons are example for composite particle.
There are three subatomic particles are present in an atom, which is having the charges and mass.
So, proton is positively charged particle, neutron is neutral in their nature, electron is negatively charged particle.
Proton and neutron having the mass equal to one, but electron is very tinier compared to proton and neutron.
And you can see all of these subatomic particle within a nucleus only.
So, proton and neutrons are present within the nucleus of an atom. Electron is present in an electron cloud.
I think you guys understand it clearly.
So, now we already learn about some of the basic concept of subatomic particle, which are all very, very important in our life.
So, we have to check ourselves. How much we already know about subatomic particle.
Can we start then?
So, So, we can just check ourselves by just doing one quick quiz. In every sessions, we are going to provide the quizzes in our platform Elect Vast Hub. So, even like you can just see though everyday marks and weekly assessments and PTMs also there, which is very very important nowadays to track our child growth. So, yeah. We already know about subatomic particle today itself. We can just move to a one quick quiz.
Which subatomic particle has a negative electric charge?
We already know that negatively charged particle is electron.
Right answer.
Now, which particle is found in the nucleus and has no electric charge? Okay, we already know that in nucleus proton and neutrons are present. But, one more question is there, which subatomic particle has no electric charge? You have to mention that only. So, we already know that proton is positively charged, which is having the electric charge. So, neutron is neutral, which doesn't have any kind of an electric charge. So, right answer is neutron.
Now, the third question. What determines the atomic number of an element?
Absolutely, the atomic numbers always represent the number of protons.
Here the fourth question. What is the charge of a proton? Come on, just imagine. You already know about it. So, what is the charge of proton?
Absolutely, plus one. Very good. So, here is the last question. Just before going to the last question, I wanted to inform you that again, if anyone wanted to take the course from us, if anyone did to know about new topics, so please let us know in comment box, or you can just give us a chat. There is a contact detail in the description.
Yes.
If the element has an atomic number of 12 and has an atomic mass of 18, how many neutrons are there?
Yes, this is little bit higher topic from atomic subatomic particles. You're going to learn continuity one in the next episode. So, the answer is absolutely six. There is a question in your mind, how?
For sure, we're going to explain.
Absolutely, in your mind there is a question, so how uh atomic number and atomic mass numbers are linked to subatomic particles.
For sure, if you want to know about this, please watch our next video, which is episode two. You're going to learn about that for sure.
And here in front of you, there is a contact detail in the page. Please contact us if you want um if you want to take our course with us, okay? Then, thank you so much for this video.
