The positive particles of an atom are
A
electrons
B
positrons
C
neutrons
D
protons
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Protons are a type of subatomic particle with a positive charge. Protons are bound together in an atom’s nucleus as a result of the strong nuclear force. Neutrons are a type of subatomic particle with no charge (they’re neutral).

Detailed explanation-2: -Two of the subatomic particles have electrical charges: protons have a positive charge while electrons have a negative charge. Neutrons, on the other hand, don’t have a charge.

Detailed explanation-3: -On the atomic level, protons are positively charged and electrons are negatively charged.

Detailed explanation-4: -Protons have a positive charge. Electrons have a negative charge. The charge on the proton and electron are exactly the same size but opposite. Neutrons have no charge.

Detailed explanation-5: -An electron is a negatively charged subatomic particle that can be either bound to an atom or free (not bound).
