Question

What is an atomic nucleus?

the outer part of an atom in which electrons move
the outer part of an atom in which neutrons move
the central part of an atom, composed of protons and neutrons
the central part of an atom, composed of protons and electrons

Answer 1

The atomic nucleus is the small, dense region consisting of protons and neutrons at the center of an atom

Structure Of The Atom: Our current model of the atom can be broken down into three constituents parts – protons, neutron, and electrons. Each of these parts has an associated charge, with protons carrying a positive charge, electrons having a negative charge, and neutrons possessing no net charge.

Answer 2

Answer:

The nucleus (center) of the atom contains the protons (positively charged) and the neutrons (no charge). The outermost regions of the atom are called electron shells and contain the electrons (negatively charged).
