What are found in the space surrounding the nucleus of an atom?
A
protons
B
electrons
C
neutrons
D
ions
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The attractive electric force between the positively-charged protons in the nucleus and the negatively-charged electrons around the nucleus holds the atom together. Atoms containing the same number of protons and electrons have no net charge.

Detailed explanation-2: -Unlike protons and neutrons, which are located inside the nucleus at the center of the atom, electrons are found outside the nucleus. Because opposite electric charges attract each other, negative electrons are attracted to the positive nucleus.
