Neutrons
Electrons

Question 2

Where is the proton and the neutron of an atom located

Answer 2

In the Nucleus

Question 3

Why does the Nucleus of an atom have a positive charge?

Answer 8

Electron shells

Question 9

Which two particles in an atom are the same amount

Answer 9

Protons=Electrons

Question 10

Why do atoms have no overall charge?

Answer 10

Because they have the same number of Protons as Electrons, and they both cancel each other out
