Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The protons and neutrons are found in the middle of the atom in the nucleus. Meanwhile, the electrons are found on the outer shell of the atom.
Detailed explanation-2: -In an atom, an electron is attracted to the nucleus by the “electromagnetic force", similar to your rubber band. Like your baseball, the faster the electron goes, the farther away from the nucleus it is. The electrons in an atom are moving pretty fast, so they are far away from the nucleus.
