Atomic Structure and Subatomic Particles

The video tutorial introduces the concept of atoms, describing them as the smallest unit of an element. It explains that atoms are composed of three subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons reside in the nucleus, while electrons are found in energy levels or orbitals. The video details the properties of each particle, including their location, mass, and charge. Protons have a positive charge and a mass of 1 amu, neutrons are neutral with a similar mass, and electrons have a negative charge and negligible mass compared to protons and neutrons.
