Split your page into 2 sections: For a bonus point:
 * 1) History of the Atom (5pts)
 * Find out the important scientists who contributed to our current knowledge of the atom.
 * Find out the important experiments that were used to make breakthrough discoveries.
 * Include years of each discovery/experiment so we can get an idea of how long this process has taken.
 * 1) Atomic Structure (5pts)
 * What are the different parts of the atom?
 * What are the different particles that make up the atom?
 * Where are they located?
 * What makes atoms of different elements different?
 * 1) Add a comment to someone's page through the discussion tab.
 * 2) Add a picture to your page.

1. Ions are the charged particles made out of atoms. It also consists of subatomic particles electrons, protons and neutrons but like atoms number of electrons is not equal to number of protons. When number of protons are more ion is positively charged and is called as **Cation.**When number of electrons are more ion is negatively charged and is called as **Anion.** Thus ions are charged particles.

2. Atoms are made up of **protons**, **neutrons**, and **electrons**. The protons and neutrons are found together in the core of the atom, called the nucleus, which is in the center. The electrons are found moving around the nucleus (at different energy levels) in what is called the electron cloud. Note that in hydrogen, most all of it is made up of just a lone proton and an electron. There are no neutrons in the most common isotope of hydrogen (1H). Protons and neutrons, which are called nucleons when they're found in an atomic nucleus, are further made of still smaller subatomic particles called quarks.
