This is my understanding of an atom, at least, I'll start with the hydrogen atom. Imagine a ball of atomic energy, an explosion the same as the one that occurs in the center of our sun, but on an infinantly smaller scale. This subatomic fusion creates an explosion small enough to be contained by it's own gravity. This, to me, is a Neutron. As a Neutron degrades, it looses mass. Until, finally, the gravity is weakened enough to allow the electromagnetic forces of the subatomic fusion to 'leak' out. Thus the center of the explosion gains a positive charge, as the electromagnetic cloud(Electron) and all its influences are now kept away from the mass by the buffer zone that keeps the explosion in. This newly devolved Neutron is commonly known as Hydrogen. One proton, one electron.
