Question
the nucleus of an atom
a. produces centrifugal force
b. is negatively charged
c. is composed of protons and neutrons
d. has a neutral charge
An atom's nucleus is made up of positively charged protons and neutral neutrons, giving it an overall positive charge. Option A is incorrect as centrifugal force is not a property of the nucleus itself. Option B is wrong because the nucleus is positively charged, not negative (electrons are negative and orbit the nucleus). Option D is incorrect because the positive charge of protons makes the nucleus positively charged, not neutral.
