What are the parts of an atom that carry a charge?
A
Proton and Neutrons
B
Neutrons and Electrons
C
Protons and Electrons
D
Protons, Neutrons and electrons
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -There are three subatomic particles: protons, neutrons and electrons. 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: -The charge of an electron is −1.6×10−19 and the charge of proton is +1.6×10−19 coulomb (C).

Detailed explanation-3: -In 1911, Ernest Rutherford discovered that at the core of every atom is a nucleus. Atomic nuclei consist of electrically positive protons and electrically neutral neutrons. These are held together by the strongest known fundamental force, called the strong force.

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.
