An atom consists of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Neutrons and protons can be found within the nucleus, while electrons can be found in the orbitals surrounding the nucleus. Electrons have negative charge on them while protons have positive charge and neutrons have no charge on them. As nucleus consist of protons and neutrons thus protons possess positive charge on it. There are equal amount of electrons and protons in a neural atom.
