Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. The protons and neutrons are found together in the core of the atom, called the nucleus, which is in the center. The electrons are found moving around the nucleus (at different energy levels) in what is called the electron cloud.
Note that in hydrogen, most all of it is made up of just a lone proton and an electron. There are no neutrons in the most common isotope of hydrogen (1H).
Protons and neutrons, which are called nucleons when they're found in an atomic nucleus, are further made of still smaller subatomic particles called quarks.

This is a hotly debated topic in science.
All atoms that comprise "matter" (excluding "dark matter" which is outside the scope of this comment) are made up of electrons, neutrons and protons.
Electrons, neutrons and protons are thought to be made up of "quarks" or "leptons"...elementary particles that have distinct mass and charge properties.
A proton is made up of two "up" quarks (with a charge of +2/3) and one "down" quark (with a charge of -1/3) which results in a particle with a charge of +1.
A neutron is made up of two "down" quarks (with a charge of -1/3) and one "up" quark (with a charge of +2/3) which results in a particle with a charge of 0.
An electron is a lepton with a charge of -1.
There are six varieties of quarks (beyond the "up" and "down" quarks, there are "strange", "charm", "top" and "bottom" quarks) and there are six varieties of leptons (Beyond the electron there are "electron neutrino", "Tau", "Tau neutrino", "Muon", and "Muon Neutrino" leptons)

The electron, the proton and the neutron are the "building blocks" of the atom. Protons have a positive electrical charge (p+), and neutrons which have about the same mass, are electrically neutral, or have no electrical charged (n0). Electrons, which are much less massive than protons - only about 1/1836th as heavy - have a negative electrical charge (e-). All atoms are made of protons, neutrons and electrons, though most hydrogen (1H1) has just the proton in its nucleus and a lone electron in orbit.
Atoms are made up of:
Protons- These are the positive particles that make up the nucleus. The number of protons determines what element an atom is. All atoms with 92 protons are Uranium, all protons with 3 protons are lithium, ect.
Neutrons- These are the neutral particles that make up the nucleus. The mass of a neutron is almost identical to the mass of a proton. The number of neutrons determines which isotope of an a element a certain element is. So if a Carbon atom has 8 neutrons, it is Carbon14 (because it also has 6 protons.)
Electrons- These are the negative particles that "orbit" the nucleus. They have barely any mass compared to protons and neutrons. They determine the chemical properties of an element. All atoms have the same number of protons and electrons, which is why atoms are neutral.
The up quark, the down quark, and the electron. Two up quarks and a down quark form a proton, and two down quarks and an up quark form a neutron.

The same particles of matter that make up a solid are also the same particles of matter that make up a gas or a liquid. Basically matter consists of atoms. At the simplest level, the particles of atoms are electrons, protons and neutrons.
Yes, everything is made of tiny particles - if it is an element then the particles are atoms of that element, if it is a compound then the particles are molecules composed of atoms of the elements which make up the compound.
The three subatomic particles are; protons and neutrons make up the nucleus and in orbitals around this nucleus are the electrons.
Three subatomic particles found in atoms besides protons, neutrons, and electrons are up quarks, down quarks, and gluons. Up quarks and down quarks are the fundamental particles that make up the protons and neutrons found in atomic nuclei. Gluons are the exchange particles that transfer the information regarding the strong nuclear force between the quarks.

An atom and an element are synonyms. Rather, subatomic particles make up atoms (and elements). The three types of subatomic particles are neutrons, protons, and electrons.
