Abstract
Matter is anything that has a mass and occupies space [52]. The smallest constituents of matter are the atoms. The atoms again are composed by smaller particles: the electrons, protons and neutrons in various combinations. The electrons are the fundamental negative charge of electricity. Electrons revolve around the nucleus of the atom in several concentric shells or orbits. The protons are contained in the nucleus of the atom and are the fundamental positive charge.
