Question

which table correctly matches each particle with its location and charge? a. particle location charge proton in the nucleus negative neutron around the nucleus positive electron in the nucleus neutral b. particle location charge proton around the nucleus neutral neutron in the nucleus positive electron in the nucleus negative c. particle location charge proton in the nucleus positive neutron in the nucleus neutral electron around the nucleus negative d. particle location charge proton in the nucleus neutral neutron in the nucleus negative electron around the nucleus positive

Explanation:

Protons are positively - charged particles located in the nucleus. Neutrons are neutral particles also in the nucleus. Electrons are negatively - charged particles that orbit around the nucleus.

Answer:

C. proton: in the nucleus, positive; neutron: in the nucleus, neutral; electron: around the nucleus, negative
