2 Electrons are particles with a charge of -1 that can occupy the space around an atom’s nucleus, which contains protons and neutrons. A neutral atom has a net charge of 0, which means that the number of negative electrons must equal the overall positive charge of the protons. How many electrons would you expect to find in a neutral atom containing three protons and four neutrons? Quark Recipe Rules • More massive quarks are less stable than less massive quarks and quickly decay into less massive quarks. The quarks that make up protons and neutrons are all 1st generation quarks, which include up quarks and down quarks.
