Answer

A molecule is made out of subatomic particles known as protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons are situated in the core, which is the focal piece of a particle, while electrons are situated in the electron cloud, which encompasses the core.

Work Step by Step

Protons have a positive charge (+1) and a mass of roughly 1 nuclear mass unit (AMU). Neutrons have no charge (impartial or 0) and furthermore have a mass of roughly 1 nuclear mass unit. Electrons have a negative charge (- 1) and a mass that is very nearly zero contrasted with protons and neutrons. Electrons consume districts of room around the core known as orbitals or electron mists, and they are engaged with substance responses and holding between molecules.
