The correct components are protons, neutrons, and electrons.

- Proton: positive charge (+1), located in the nucleus, mass ≈ 1 atomic mass unit (amu).
- Neutron: no net charge (neutral), in the nucleus, mass ≈ 1 amu.
- Electron: negative charge (−1), orbits the nucleus in the electron cloud, mass ≈ 1/1836 amu.

(The names "protoids, neutrals and electroids" are incorrect.)
