Describe the essential properties of the atomic nucleus. Compare these with the properties of the electron.
The nucleus is a heavily charged positive centre located in a very small space of around 10-15 m. An electron is a very small negatively charged particle with well established charge to mass ratio. The charge on electron forms the smallest unit of charge on atomic particles.
