Answer:

b. Inside the nucleus of an atom are protons and electrons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Instead, the nucleus of an atom contains both protons (+ charged, positive) and neutrons (with no charge, neutral). Electrons orbit the nucleus with a negative charge.

Please let me know if you have any other questions about this or anything else.

Thanks!
