1080 - What are the tiny particles that make up matter and what is their characteristic movement?

The tiny particles that make up matter are called atoms. Atoms are made up of even smaller particles called protons, neutrons, and electrons.

The electrons in an atom move around the center of the atom in a circular path called an orbit or energy level. It's like they're in a big circle, moving really fast around the center of the atom. This movement is what keeps the atom stable.
