Okay, I will try to explain to you what proton, neutron, and electron are like you are a 12 year old. Here we go:

You probably know that everything in the world is made of tiny building blocks called atoms. Atoms are so small that you can't see them with your eyes, but they are everywhere. They make up the air you breathe, the water you drink, the food you eat, and even your own body.

Atoms are not solid balls, though. They have smaller parts inside them that are called subatomic particles. There are three main types of subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons.

Protons and neutrons are very similar. They have almost the same size and weight, but they have different charges. Charge is a property that makes things attract or repel each other. Protons have a positive charge (+), while neutrons have no charge (0). Protons and neutrons stick together in the center of the atom, which is called the nucleus. The nucleus is very tiny and very dense, which means it has a lot of mass in a small space.

Electrons are very different from protons and neutrons. They are much smaller and lighter, and they have a negative charge (-). Electrons don't stay in the nucleus. They move around the nucleus in spaces called shells. Electrons are attracted to protons because they have opposite charges, but they also move very fast and have a lot of energy, so they don't get too close to the nucleus.

The number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in an atom determines what kind of atom it is. For example, an atom with one proton and one electron is a hydrogen atom. An atom with two protons and two electrons is a helium atom². An atom with six protons and six electrons is a carbon atom. And so on.

Different atoms can join together to form molecules, which are groups of atoms that share electrons. For example, two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom can join together to form a water molecule (H2O). Molecules can also join together to form bigger things like cells, tissues, organs, and organisms.

So to summarize, proton, neutron, and electron are subatomic particles that make up atoms. Protons and neutrons are in the nucleus of the atom and have positive and neutral charges respectively. Electrons are outside the nucleus and have negative charges. The number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in an atom determines what kind of atom it is. Different atoms can join together to form molecules, which can join together to form bigger things.

I hope this explanation helps you understand what proton, neutron, and electron are. If you have any questions or comments, please let me know.
