Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Neutrons are located
A
Outside the nucleus (electron cloud)
B
Nucleus
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Neutrons are located inside the nucleus of an atom. Nucleus is the central part of an atom which contain proton and neutrons.

Detailed explanation-2: -A neutron is one of three main particles that make up the atom. It is found in the nucleus and is neutral in electric charge. It has about the same mass and diameter as a proton. Neutrons are found in all atoms except for most atoms of hydrogen.

Detailed explanation-3: -Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus. They group together in the center of the atom.

Detailed explanation-4: -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 are neutral). Like protons, neutrons are bound into the atom’s nucleus as a result of the strong nuclear force.

Detailed explanation-5: -Electrons are unique from the other particles in multiple ways. They exist outside of the nucleus, are significantly smaller in mass and exhibit both wave-like and particle-like characteristics. An electron is also an elementary particle, which means that it is not made up of smaller components.
