Answer:

Particle A orbits the nucleus, and Particle B is located in the nucleus.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since both particles A and B can be found in the same atom, the particles can either be protons, neutrons and electrons.

There are three fundamental subatomic particles which are the protons, neutrons and the electrons.

Protons and neutrons are found within the nucleus of an atom.

Electrons orbits the nucleus.

The mass of protons and neutrons is very large and so, they determine the mass of the atom.

The mass of electrons is very small and negligible compared to the mass of the neutrons and protons.

The electrons orbits around the nucleus.
