Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the subatomic particle that gives the nucleus its positive charge?
A
Proton
B
Neutron
C
Electron
D
Galvatron
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Protons carry a positive charge, whereas electrons carry a negative charge. Neutrons have no charge. Hence the nucleus of an atom is positively charged.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Protons are a type of subatomic particle with a positive charge. Protons are bound together in an atom’s nucleus as a result of the strong nuclear force.

Detailed explanation-4: -A proton is one of three main particles that make up the atom. Protons are found in the nucleus of the atom. This is a tiny, dense region at the center of the atom. Protons have a positive electrical charge of one (+1) and a mass of 1 atomic mass unit (amu), which is about 1.67×10−27 kilograms.

Detailed explanation-5: -The nucleus itself is generally made of protons and neutrons but even these are composite objects. Inside the protons and neutrons, we find the quarks, but these appear to be indivisible, just like the electrons.
