Electric Charge and Atomic Structure Overview
This piece explains that matter is built from atoms containing protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons are positive, electrons negative, neutrons neutral. In neutral atoms charges balance, nuclei hold protons and neutrons, electrons orbit, and moving electrons form electric current. Opposites attract, like charges repel.
