	An atom is the smallest unit of matter. Protons, ~~neutron~~, and electrons, make up the composition of an atom providing its ~~physical features~~. The common ~~physical features~~ of atoms are used to organize them in the periodic table. Electrons are negatively charged particles that surround the atom’s ~~nucleolus~~. Protons are positively charged particles and neutrons are uncharged. Both neutrons and protons are located in the central part of the atom known as the nucleus.
