Nucleus | A central part about which other parts are grouped or gathered |
Electron Shell | A grouping of electrons surrounding the nucleus of an atom; "the chemical properties of an atom are determined by the outermost electron shell" |
Proton | A positively charged elementary particle that is a fundamental constituent of all atomic nuclei. |
Neutron | An elementary particle having no charge, mass slightly greater than that of a proton, and spin of ½: a constituent of the nuclei of all atoms except those of hydrogen. |
