(N/A) The subatomic particles,namely electrons,protons,and neutrons,differ in their charge,mass,and location within the atom as summarized below:
Particle Nature of Charge Mass Location
Electron Negatively charged $9.11 \times 10^{-31} \text{ kg}$ Extra-nuclear region (orbits/shells)
Proton Positively charged $1.672 \times 10^{-27} \text{ kg}$ (approx. $1 \text{ amu}$) Nucleus
Neutron Neutral (no charge) $1.675 \times 10^{-27} \text{ kg}$ (approx. $1 \text{ amu}$) Nucleus

$1$. Electrons are the lightest particles,carrying a negative charge,and revolve around the nucleus in specific shells.
$2$. Protons are positively charged particles located inside the nucleus,contributing significantly to the atomic mass.
$3$. Neutrons are electrically neutral particles also found within the nucleus,having a mass nearly equal to that of a proton.
