Question

the table shows the charge on three unknown subatomic particles. charged particles particle charge on particle x positive y no charge z negative which particle(s) is(are) most likely present in the space outside of the nucleus of the atom? only particle x only particle z both particles x and y both particles y and z

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

In an atom, protons are positively - charged and are in the nucleus, neutrons are neutral and are in the nucleus, and electrons are negatively - charged and are outside the nucleus. Particle X with a positive charge is likely a proton, particle Y with no charge is likely a neutron, and particle Z with a negative charge is likely an electron.

Answer:

B. Only particle Z
