Question

which of the following statements correctly describe the nucleus of the atom?
constitutes most of the volume of the atom
positively charged
negatively charged
dense
contains most of the mass of the atom

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The nucleus of an atom is positively - charged due to the presence of protons. It is dense as it contains protons and neutrons which have significant mass. Most of the mass of the atom is concentrated in the nucleus because electrons have negligible mass compared to protons and neutrons. The volume of the atom is mostly empty space occupied by electrons, not the nucleus.

Answer:

positively charged, dense, contains most of the mass of the atom
