Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which subatomic part of an atom gives it a positive charge?
A
Neutron
B
Proton
C
Electron
D
Nucleus
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: -A proton has positive charge of 1, that is, equal but opposite to the charge of an electron. A neutron, like the name implies, is neutral with no net charge. The charge is believed to be from the charge of the quarks that make up the nucleons (protons and neutrons).

Detailed explanation-3: -All the positive charge of an atom is contained in the nucleus, and originates from the protons. Neutrons are neutrally-charged. Electrons, which are negatively-charged, are located outside of the nucleus.

Detailed explanation-4: -Protons are positively charged and electrons are negatively charged while neutrons have no charge.

Detailed explanation-5: -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".
