Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is the subatomic particle with a positive charge?
A
Proton
B
Neutron
C
Electron
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Hence, option (C) is correct. The positively charged particles in an atom are called protons.

Detailed explanation-3: -A proton is a subatomic particle, symbol p or p+, with a positive electric charge of +1e elementary charge and mass slightly less than that of a neutron. Protons and neutrons, each with masses of approximately one atomic mass unit, are collectively referred to as “nucleons".
