Answer 1

Atom is the smallest particle of the element. It is composed of central nucleus and peripheral orbits in which electrons are revolving.

Nucleus 0f the atom is very small of size 10-15 m and it contains protons and neutrons.

Electrons are revolving around the nucleus in different orbits or energy levels.

Three Major subatomic particles are:

- electron

- protons

- neutrons

Major chemical elements of the living system are:

- carbon c

- Hydrogen H

- Oxygen O

- nitrogen

- Phosphorus p

- Sulfur S
