Explanation:

Protons and neutrons are in the nucleus. Protons have a positive charge, neutrons are neutral. Electrons are outside the nucleus and have a negative charge. Protons and neutrons have relatively large mass compared to electrons.

Answer:

Protons are positively - charged particles found in the nucleus with significant mass. Neutrons are neutral particles in the nucleus with mass similar to protons. Electrons are negatively - charged particles outside the nucleus with very small mass compared to protons and neutrons.
