Question

Knowing what you know about the nucleus and the subatomic particles in the nucleus, what do you think is the charge of the nucleus of an atom?

Answer 1

Answer:

The nucleus of an atom contains protons and neutrons.

Protons have positive charges, and neutrons are neutral (have no charge), so the overall charge of the nucleus would be positive.

Explanation:

Answer 2

The charge of the nucleus of an atom is positive.

• The nucleus is a small, dense area in the atom's core. It has a positive charge because it is made up of positive protons and neutral neutrons.
• Nucleons, which can be protons or neutrons, make up the nucleus of an atom. Because protons always have a positive charge and neutrons have no net charge, the nucleus' overall resulting charge is positive because only the protons contribute.
