[li]Protons are in the core of the atom, within the nucleus - [b]Positively Charged[/b][/li]
[li]Electrons orbit the nucleus - [b]Negatively Charged[/b][/li]
[li]Due to the [i]nucleus[/i] being positively charged, and the [i]electrons[/i] being negatively charged, the atom's overall charge is [b]neutral[/b][/li]
[li]Therefore the number of electrons and protons are equal[/li]
[li]A substance becomes positively charged when losing electrons[/li]
[li]A substance becomes negatively charged when gaining electrons[/li]
[li]Protons don't move under normal circumstances[/li]
