Question

an atomic nucleus has a negative charge.
true

Explanation:

An atomic nucleus consists of protons (positively charged) and neutrons (neutral). Electrons (negatively charged) are outside the nucleus. So the nucleus has a positive charge (due to protons), not negative. Thus the statement is false. But since the options here seem to have only "True" shown, but the correct answer should be that the statement is false. However, if we consider the given option (maybe a typo or incomplete), but based on physics (subfield of Natural Science), the atomic nucleus has positive charge (protons + neutrons neutral), so the statement "An atomic nucleus has a negative charge" is False.

Answer:

The statement is False. (If the options were to choose between True/False, the correct answer is False. Since the given option shows "True" but the correct answer is that the statement is false.)
