· The atom of an element is still having very small particles in it.They are
called as sub-atomic particles.These are the basic constituents of an atom.
· The protons, neutrons, and electrons are the fundamental particles of an
atom of an element.
· The study of the fundamental particles in the atom is essential for
understanding the behavior of matter.
