Question

what subatomic particle is found floating around the nucleus of an atom? 1 point options: proton, neutron, electron, negaton (accompanied by an image of an atom with a nucleus and orbiting particles)

Explanation:

To determine the subatomic particle floating around the nucleus, we recall atomic structure: protons and neutrons are in the nucleus, while electrons orbit (float around) the nucleus. "Negation" is not a subatomic particle. So the correct particle is Electron.

Answer:

Electron (the option labeled "Electron")
