This is my hydrogen atom.

In science we are learning about the parts of an atom. We had to make a model of an atom. The different parts are the neutrons and protons are the ones in the middle, and the electrons are the ones in orbit around the protons and neutrons. To get the numbers of each you have to subtract the atomic number (the number in the top right corner) from the atomic mass (the number on the bottom) then that is the number of electrons. The atomic number and mass of a hydrogen atom are one, so that means that the number of electronsย is one because they have to cancel out each other. There is one proton because the atomic number is one. So on my atom there is one proton and one electron.
