The Quiz: In an atom, what type of particle orbits the others?
Electron
Proton
Positron
Neutron
Atoms are basic units of matter and make up everything in the universe except energy. The minuscule structures are made of protons, neutrons, and electrons, which appear in various quantities to make up different elements. At the center of the atomic structure is the nucleus, which is where neutrons and protons are located, and surrounding that is the electron shell, which is where electrons orbit the nucleus, moving at 1,300 miles per second.
The correct answer to this quiz is Electron.
