What types of particles are contained inside an atom? In this section, we will explore the three subatomic particles most atoms contain. Experiments in the late 19th and early 20th centuries helped to define and locate each of these three atomic pieces. Overviews of these experiments will help you to appreciate the efforts involved to explain the structure of the atom.
